A problem arose in Kilkenny with the introduction of a waiver system for those who cannot afford to pay waste charges. That is a very contentious issue in many local authorities, and Kilkenny is no different. People who are disadvantaged find it very difficult, where private operators are concerned with the collection of waste, as is the case in Kilkenny, to obtain waivers from those private operators. I am aware some tax measure has been put in place as regards waste charges, but if one does not have an income that is taxable such a measure is of no benefit.
