Following Dublin City Councils withdrawal from waste collection we have seen a huge increase in litter and illegal dumping in our area. As leader of the Fianna Fail group I strongly opposed DCC’s withdrawal from the collection of waste but Labour and Fine Gael control the City Council. I am actively working to try and limit the negative impact of this bad decision on our area and would appreciate if residents can help by reporting any illegal dumping to the Dublin Central Litter Hotline on freephone 1800 248 348 or email litter.central@dublincity.ie. Thanks, Mary
