MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, April 11, 2011

QUESTION NO.9

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager to provide a detailed report on the likely impact of the sale of the council’s waste collection service on the council's finances and adopted budget for 2011?

REPLY:

The Council closed the sale for the domestic waste collection service on Friday 1st April.  The consideration will not be finalised until two months after the sale in order that final customer numbers can be verified.  In addition the savings to the Council in terms of waste disposal will be factored into the overall value as will the income foregone as a result of the service transferring to a new provider.   A full analysis of this will have to be done in conjunction with the overall budget of the Council for a full impact to be assessed
