Labour Party Do Not Call for Abolition of Bin Tax

category dublin | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Monday May 24, 2004 11:27author by Patrick Report this post to the editors

The charges should be "changed"

The Labour Party is not calling for the abolition of the bin tax in these local elections.

The Labour Party are advocating pay-by-weight and for a "waiver scheme". There is no call whatsoever for the abolition of bin tax. There is alsoo no mention of what they did to oppose the tax other than vote against it. This position is likely to make it more difficult for the Labour Party as they come from pressure on the left from Sinn Fein, Socialist Party, and Independents in working class areas.
