Bin tax: 20 months on non collection arrives in Cabra

Non-payers in estates in Cabra did not have their bins collected this morning as the corporation finally imposed non-collection in the area.

Of course they choose the hottest month of the Irish 'summer' to do this - when uncolleced rubbish will represent the greatest nusiance and public health threat. It's been around 20 months since the first non-collections happened in the corporation area but then for PR reasons they were smart enough to only do it in the 'leafy' bits of Dublin 4.

Like good little lap dogs the media dutifully broadcast the shots of overflowing bins outside 4 story red brick houses but such coverage has been noticable by its absence as the council have imposed non-collection on working class areas of the city.
