    Why is it so hard to get a list of all waste operators in Fingal?

    Is there some mechanism by which I can find who would collect on our street?

    Notice of merger on The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission website.

    CCPC announces full investigation into the merger - here.

    boards.ie discussion about the merger - here

    I fully expect the merger will go ahead with some ridiculous guarantee that will end up with Panda having the monopoly in Fingal.

    Didn't know about this. I don't see why it should be allowed to go ahead as there isn't half enough competition in that business.

    @lawred2, I'm surprised that greyhound Greenstar do not operate on your road?

    Edit: Meant Greenstar.. it's been a long day.

    I strongly suggest people contact their local TD and copy the CCPC with reference to the merger. Only takes a few mintues to raise your concern regarding the merger and lack of competition.
