There is an anomaly with regard to the waiver scheme. It is available in Dublin, Galway city and other areas, but it is not available in rural areas because private contractors are operating the scheme. I suggest to the Minister of State that, just as we had a subsidy for group water schemes to provide free domestic water, the same idea should be considered for waste charges. We cannot have a situation where people in rural areas cannot afford to pay the charges because they do not have a waiver scheme similar to those in towns and cities.
