Order of Business.

Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)
Senator McCarthy asked for a debate on waste management and criticised the bureaucratic layer which has developed because county managers rather than elected representatives now have responsibility for both the pricing and arrangements for waste disposal. While that is true, I and many others found that the elected representatives were not taking the hard decisions in many cases. I have no brief to speak for county managers but that was how the situation came about.
