Madam, - For the fourth week out of five, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council has failed to collect the refuse from our road on the appointed day. The council will only collect refuse left in bags, so after a few days the roads look like Sarajevo before the peace accord.
Letters, phone calls and pleas are to no avail. The council will collect at a time that suits it and its employees. What a system to have in the 21st century!
My vote in the forthcoming local elections will go to any politician who can get the council to do the job it is required by law to do. - Yours, etc.,
JOE HACKETT, Charlotte Terrace, Victoria Road, Dalkey, Co Dublin.
