This is the scene at the end of my street at the moment, about 25 yards from my front door. It's disgusting. http://beecher.org/cccwm/ I would appreciate if you'd ask Joe Gavin this question on my behalf please: Mr. Gavin, with regard to your comment in the Irish Examiner this morning ("we will gather evidence and prosecute illegal dumpers. We will pursue them through the courts"), I would like to know exactly how you're going to track down dumpers in streets where rubbish is gathered centrally for collection, which I imagine would account for a pretty large portion of the city centre? Are you going to have the Gardaí "stake out" the streets? Are you going to do it yourself? This waste management plan is simply unworkable, would you please just stop trying to save face, admit you made a mistake, and /fix/ it. NOW! Regards, Adam Beecher
