The question of waste charges has been discussed at length. Waste charges must be levied. We accept the polluter pays principle. It is a matter of EU law. This cannot be avoided, even if we wished to do so. Neither can I allow a situation to materialise where some elected representatives may attempt to frustrate the manager in collecting charges. Amendments Nos. 54 and 55 will address these concerns. We know from recent experience that some councillors have attempted to undermine their own plans.
