    It doesn't say too much when the Mayor doesn't use his own City Council's bin collection service ...

    Pretty damning if that's true. :)

    I'll tell you something, it would be priceless to get pictures of Mr. Binman bins outside any of the councillor's houses, after sending out a leaflet like that. It's not that the leaflet is rubbish, but we'd have a few hypocrits caught rotten.

    He mislaid the silver mayoral chains and they haven't been returned by anyone so they suspect someone has melted them down.

    I think I was told it made the papers a few weeks back, if not then it hasn't been made public yet.

    Don't agree with this. I will go with whoever provides the best service for the best price. If the state needs everyone to participate in order to make some services viable why allow private competition then?
    I think by issuing that flyer the council simply advertises it's service - like everyone else does in competition - and the theme of it's ad is 'local patriotism', something like 'Irish owned'. Legit but a bit cheap at the same time. Better to advertise superior service than to appeal to charitable minds.

    I think the issue is that the state is happy with private competition but the council, since it provides a waiver scheme for one, is being killed by the competition. So you have the council doing something social, maintained by the socialist politicians (SF,WP,Lab, etc.) that we elect in Waterford, being undermined by the state, which wants the councils doing as little as possible so it doesn't have to give them as much funding.
