Maritime Safety Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
4:00 pm
Frank Feighan (Fine Gael)
The policy of many of the councils is not to provide bins at scenic areas because they have found they create more rubbish. At most scenic areas in County Roscommon the county council is not providing bins because the people fill them with their own rubbish. They were regarded as a green light for rubbish. Perhaps the Minister's Department would liaise with the county councils in regard to the Shannon and other rivers. If no bins are provided, unfortunately those who have no regard for the environment will throw away rubbish.
