Cathaoirleach's Business
This motion seeks the management's attention regarding ongoing issues at the bottle recycling banks located at Castle Riada and Moyglass. There is a persistent problem of illegal dumping, including mattresses and other large items, which requires action from waste management authorities.

An update is requested on the monitoring of these issues, including information on how much illegally dumped waste has been removed since changes were implemented.
