Labour & The City Manager
Labour in chahoots with City Manager to privatise bin collections. Dublin City Manager has held secret meetings with Labour City Councillors regarding the privatisation of domestic bin collections in the city. Despite a request from Fianna Fail and Independent Councillors for a special meeting on this issue we were neither invited nor informed to meet the City Manager. How […]
Bins – Special Meeting Request
In light of the serious issues that have arisen with DCC’s withdrawal from the collection of domestic waste in Dublin City, last night with the support of the FF councillors and a number of Independent Councillors I formally requested the Lord Mayor to immediately convene a meeting with the CEO of Greyhound and the City […]
Domestic Bin Collections

Over the past few months I strenuously opposed DCC’s withdrawal from the domestic bin collection service but unfortunately the majority Labour/Fine Geal Councillors supported the City Manager’s plan. I again raised […]

The contractor will be off-site during the Annual […]
Dublin Bus 11 Route Retained
The Dublin Bus Network review is continuing across the city and the arrival of “real time” information at local bus stops is making the service even more attractive. New timetables have been introduced on the 37, 38 and 39 routes as and from April 17, 2011. Following on from my previous representations Dublin Bus today […]
