That this Council contact the operators of the Red Line Luas re. bullying and nuisance of passengers on a continuous basis by groups of youths who disturb and frighten other passengers particularly the elderly. I was verbally abused recently when I asked a group to stop shouting and moving around upsetting, in particular senior citizens. My journey was from Abbey St. and there was no security presence until Red Cow. I believe an on-board security is the only safeguard for the users of the Luas.

That this Council expresses its dissatisfaction with the timing of the publication by the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government of the Waste Policy document "A Resource Opportunity" in late July, a time when local authorities could not feasibly schedule meetings to consider the many important proposals in the policy document, notes that the Policy in one very important respect departs completely from the commitment in the Programme for Government to introduce a tendering system in each local authority area which would result in one Waste Management company getting the contract for all household waste collection in a defined area, and is concerned about the sustainability of a possible "free for all" situation with several company waste collection trucks coming into small areas on several days per week, nevertheless acknowledges that there are several positive aspects of the new policy, including a renewed commitment to include provision for financial support to help low income families to pay for waste collection, calls on the Manager to provide for this meeting a draft response document to the policy proposals, which councillors can consider for forwarding to the Minister, and finally that it is the view of this Council that Government should implement improved and strictly regulated systems for effective management for the recycling and disposal of household waste as soon as possible.
