Diarmuid Wilson (Fianna Fail)

There are independent assessors at present and the maximum fee they charge is €100.

The desludging takes place every 18 months for a normal-sized house. The fee for this is between €80 and €100. That is my clear understanding having spoken to staff in the council. To date, the rate of compliance with the by-laws is 33%, which is very high for a voluntary code.
