I would not be at all surprised if problems were to arise in respect of this legislation at a future date. The Bill was substantial when it came before this House originally and it has been considerably amended by the Dáil. Major elements are contained in this important legislation which have significant implications, particularly for local authorities and the way in which they do their business, especially in terms of the environment. It also has huge implications for householders and major implications for the role of local authorities which we have, in effect, emasculated. I am still a member of a local authority and my colleagues and I have been carved out of the process. One wonders why anyone would wish to be elected to a local authority when one sees the extent to which powers have been undermined and abolished, particularly in relation to waste. Local authority members have been undermined in terms of how they may speak and act on behalf of their communities.
