SF Motion on Bins ‘Out of Order’ says City Manager

Motion calling for refund of Charges not taken

A motion on behalf of the Sinn Féin Group on Dublin City Council demanding the immediate refund of bin charges paid by householders in 2001-2002, recently declared illegal by the High Court, was ruled out of order at a meeting of the Council last night.

A similar motion was also put by Independent councillor Joan Collins, however the Sinn Féin motion went further, demanding the Council outline the costs of both the refund and the money spent on legal fees so far.

Cllr Tony Smithers, who initiated the motion, said: “The Manager’s position is that the Sinn Féin motion was out of order because the Council intends to appeal the High Court decision to the Supreme Court. City Management seems set on digging us deeper and deeper into a hole.

“Our motion would have required the Council to immediately refund all households who paid their waste management charges for the years 2001-2002 and to delete the charges from the bills of households who have not paid their charges for the years 2001-2002."
