Voicing concerns about grooming gangs is a "dog-whistle", a "little trumpet" and jumping "on a bandwagon of the far Right". That's what Labour really thinks, says Andrew Doyle, and voters will not be forgiving.

Dublin councils to introduce brown bins

18 April 2005 13:37
Bin charges in the Dublin area will rise again next year, as the four Dublin councils introduce a service for organic and garden waste in a bid to double recycling rates over a period of five years.

Householders are being told that charges will level off by 2009, when the controversial incinerator at Ringsend is planned to become operational.

Dublin's four councils today unveiled their draft five-year waste management plan. The key component of the plan is the introduction of a so-called 'brown bin service' to deal with organic and garden waste.

It is hoped that this will lead to the Dublin region recycling nearly 60% of the waste it produces, a dramatic increase on just five years ago. The cost of infrastructure for biological waste is estimated at €300m.

However, there will be financial consequences. Bin charges will increase from next year. The councils say householders are still only paying two thirds of the real cost of getting rid of their rubbish and this cannot continue.

They assert that charges will level off from 2009 when, they hope, the controversial proposed incinerator at Ringsend will be operational and this method of disposal is cheaper.

Yet if the incinerator gets held up by opposition, charges will increase again as land filling is increasingly expensive.
