With regard to waste charges and the regulations to introduce a pay-by-weight scheme, we know the Minister reached agreement with the waste companies to suspend the plan pending a review. Unfortunately, at least one of the waste companies, Greyhound, is ignoring that agreement and is now putting the onus on its customers to opt out of a pay-by-weight scheme. Greyhound has gone ahead with the introduction of the pay-by-weight plan and is telling customers that they must choose to opt out, or not, and to engage with the company in doing so, which can be difficult for customers. Would the Minister accept that Greyhound's actions are in defiance in the spirit of the agreement that was reached with the Minister, Deputy Coveney? Will he ask the Minister to make direct contact with Greyhound to request that it suspend those plans and honour the agreement that was reached?

Does Deputy Joan Collins wish to speak on the same matter?

No, but I do wish to speak.

The Minister has indicated that he would be prepared to take legislative action if companies do not agree to comply with the approach that has been worked out. There is no doubt, as the Deputy has indicated, that there are concerns about the activity of one company, and these have been brought to the Minister's attention. I understand the Minister is making contact with the company to seek to deal with the issue.
