Shelving of waste waiver 'a disappointment' say Family Carers Ireland 

Minister for the Environment, Climate, and Communications  Eamon Ryan 

Family Carers Ireland has said it is "disappointed" at the apparent shelving of a waste waiver that would have limited the annual costs of disposing of domestic waste for vulnerable people with a condition such as lifelong or long-term medical incontinence.

The organisation said the previous government had carried out work on a proposed scheme that had even gone as far as setting aside a multi-million euro budget for the plan, but the new Government appeared to have dropped the idea.
