 Sunday May 06, 2007 14:08 by DLR Whistleblower - Dun Laoghaire Rathdown
 Council call in the heavy gang Just wanted to tip people off that DLR council are handing over all out standing waste collection accounts to debt collectors. The council have come under pressure from those campaigning against car clamping and as result it has emerged that the council has never attempted to collect any outstanding debts. Householders are sent out several bills each year for their waste collection with many realising that no attempt has ever been made to collect these monies resulting in most householders getting a free collection for years yet the council continues to bemoan the fact that funds are low. It has been reported locally that the service will be privatised and no doubt they want to collect would could be as much as 7 million before going private. Debt collectors using heavy handed tactics is certainly not the way forward. It was also decided not to announce this until after the election.
