The Minister is willing to go down the right road and we must support him. However, if we want to go down that road, we must recognise that our local representatives are willing to take on not only extra powers but also extra responsibilities. I am disappointed with this legislation because it claws back on the concept of giving them responsibility as well as power. I ask the Minister to reflect on this. I also ask him to give a lead on the waste management issue. We have a national waste management document, strategies and policies but need central leadership. While that may go against the grain in regard to what I said about giving local councillors powers, a decision must be taken on waste management systems to ensure we have a central system and single strategy which we can implement. We should begin that process as soon as possible.
