Waste Management: Motion (Resumed). (4 Jul 2007)

Michael Ring: I wish to share time with Deputies Coveney, Burke and Morgan. I wish to make a very brief contribution to this debate. I speak because I want to have a go at Fianna Fáil. Then I want to have a go at the Green Party. I will start with Fianna Fáil. As a rural Deputy I suffered for 15 months. I welcome Deputy Chris Andrews to the Dáil.

Waste Management: Motion (Resumed). (4 Jul 2007)

Michael Ring: I had great time for the Green Party before the election. We all know about waste management, waste and the problems in this country that must be dealt with.
