City ‘may halt €3m waivers on refuse charges’

CORK City may not be able to continue to forego €3 million in refuse charges each year, city manager Joe Gavin has warned.

Last night, opponents of the move vowed to fight any attempt to abolish full waivers.

“The 100% refuse collection waiver could be lost. We have to consider the possibility,” Cork city manager Joe Gavin told this week’s city council meeting.
