MOTION NO. 17

MOTION: Councillor D. Looney

That this Council regrets the refusal of Greyhound R & R Ltd to send a representative to meet with the Council as requested at our last meeting; that this Council is dismayed at the confusion caused to residents in South Dublin who formerly availed of the Council service by Greyhound's changes and notice; that this Council condemns the imposition of a standing charge by Greyhound despite promises not to increase charges; and that this Council, mindful of the effects of these changes on those whose waivers will be abolished in the coming months, calls on the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government to implement the pledge in the Programme for Government to provide a waiver scheme, nationally, for low-income households.

REPORT:

Should the motion be passed, the content will be referred to the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government.
