Darren O'Rourke (Meath East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Momentum is building for the re-municipalisation of waste collection. I commend the work of councillors on Dublin City Council. My colleague Daithí Doolan has been working with unions. They have a working group to identify the barriers to this and they gave a presentation in the audiovisual room. We have now established an Oireachtas cross-party working group on the re-municipalisation of waste. There needs to be focus on the barriers to this. The climate committee can do a job of work on it, but the Government should grasp the opportunity and bring these services back in to public ownership.
