Marie Sherlock: I have four brief questions for the CCMA and four for the IWMA. I thank both organisations for being here because this us a very useful conversation. Obviously, many of us come with different views on this but to have this conversation is constructive. My first question is for the IWMA. By law now, every household is supposed to have a brown bin. We know that, particularly in Dublin,...

Marie Sherlock: I hear what the witnesses are saying. The IWMA has 63 members. The reality is in certain parts of the country, some very large operators have effectively taken out much smaller operators. With regard to consolidation of the sector, trade unions raised those concerns earlier. Is this a concern for the association? Does it represent all waste operators in the country?

What has the CCMA done to ensure that all householders in this country have a bin collection service?

It is absolutely false to say that any household that wants bin collection service can get it. That is not true. I am happy to provide the details. I am sure there are instances right across this country.
