Questions
To ask the Manager what action he can take against waste disposal companies who have of late being circulated to householders and outside shopping centres throughout South Dublin County Council’s Administrative area, large waste disposal bags, and given the clear environmental problem that this is causing for the Council, and the obvious increase in dumping as a result of this initiative, if he has held discussions with the companies concerned, and if he is considering taking legal action to address this issue, and if he will make a statement on the matter?
