Motion in the name of Councillor Eilis Ryan
That this Committee calls on Dublin City Council to draft a contingency plan for waste collection in areas with bag collections, to ensure a service is available in the event that no company is willing to collect bags.
This is warranted by the fact that the major companies have noted the expense of collecting bags, and their disappointment that it has not been possible to change more streets from bag to wheelie bin collections. As a result it is legitimate to assume that these companies may at some point pull out of the area. While there is no guarantee of this happening, in the interests of good planning, a contingency plan is warranted.
