COUNCIL members this week unanimously moved to protect the bin waiver which provides free bin collections for some of the city’s most vulnerable.
But elected members were warned that running the current scheme will mean the money for it will run out by June or July.
And city and county manager, Conn Murray, warned that he will have to take legal advice on whether he can comply with the members’ wishes and go against the sum provided for the scheme in the budget.
Councillors agreed unanimously with a motion from Fine Gael leader in the chamber, Cllr John Sheahan that the cuirent level of payments under the scheme be continued.
