That does not and never will suit Fianna Fail. We abide by and support the law. We want people to be tax compliant, as set out in these regulations, and we want the industry to be controlled. At home, we pay €320 per year for the collection of two bins every two weeks. If the Minister finds after the assessment that pay-by-weight costs are in excess of what obtained previously, he is entitled to introduce a further statutory instrument.

This is a time for study. It is a wake-up call to the industry, which seems unregulated. A good aspect of this debate is that the issue is being brought to the fore. We will have a regulator who will ensure the industry is properly organised.
