Seanad debates

Protection of the Environment Bill 2003 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] : Report and Final Stages.
This legislation was designed to do two things in general, to transpose the directive and remove from local authority members the power to impose charges for the disposal of waste, particularly household waste. It was designed to give the manager superpower status in setting charges and ensure that people who do not pay them do not have their bins collected. However, the legislation that has returned to this House is a more powerful measure.
