by axe the bin tax!

Tallaght Dublin 24

Sinn Féin Cllr. Mark Daly tells residents to pay the bin tax - its only a bill in an interview with the Tallaght echo local newspaper.

Sinn Féin Councillor for Tallaght central Mark Daly has openly called for workers and householders to pay the bin tax.

In an interview with this weeks Tallaght Echo, Cllr. Daly is quoted as saying his bill has been paid and that he believes "When Bills are issued they should be paid just like electricity or the Television licence"

Sinn Féin in Dublin South west (Tallaght, Firhouse, Knocklyon, Greenhills etc) have been strongly inactive on the bin tax issue, while its party machine in the area is clearly divided on the issue with prominent members such as Daly coming out in favour of the bin tax.

So far the active groups in the campaign in Tallaght have been the SP, the WSM, the Workers Party (around the Clondalkin/Palmerstown area) and members of the SWP (mostly from out of the Dublin south west area, but with some exceptions in Tallaght and Clondalkin) and other various community groups and residents
