Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2016
104. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government further to Parliamentary Question No. 129 of 7 July 2016, if the customers of a company (details supplied) can retain their current arrangements without having to notify the company. [21897/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department met with representatives of the waste industry earlier last week and are continuing to liaise with operators as necessary with regard to the consistent implementation of the agreement to maintain prices at current rates. My understanding is that the company in question has contacted all of its customers and requested customers to indicate by phone, email, through using a form on their website or using a return form by post, as to whether they wish to retain their current price plan arrangements. While I have signalled that this approach is out of step with the arrangements made by other collectors in the industry, I am informed that a large number of customers have already been in contact with the company to indicate that they wish to retain their current price plan arrangements.
