Protection of the Environment Bill 2003 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] : Report and Final Stages.

 

There are no provisions for waivers for the elderly and others who are not in a position to pay the full charge for the collection of waste.

The waste will have to go somewhere and the result will be more indiscriminate dumping. The matter must be addressed.
