Campaigners reject bin charge payment figures

The Campaign Against Service Charges has rejected Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown Co Council's figures which say 90% of households have paid the Bin Tax.

Richard Boyd Barrett, the chair of the Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown anti bin tax campaign claimed Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown Co. Council is "lying through their teeth" about the number of people who have paid the bin tax.

"If you look at facts that are already in the public domain it becomes clear that DLRCC’s claims are pure nonsense," he said.

"Adding together the hard core non-payers, the waivers and those who have not paid this year but may have paid in previous years you have close to thirty thousand households who are not compliant with the bin tax in this county alone," Mr Boyd Barrett claiimed.
