And what Marie Sherlock is saying, the message that she got from the people at that meeting that she hosted on Monday night is that people will welcome this if you put a system in place that they feel is fair to them rather than just transferring them over to this private charge, flat rate charge that they'll be paying every week.

So you think you just suck that up?

Absolutely.

So you have to move from pay as you go, even if you're not using that every week, you now have to pay every week and that's life?

Would you expect, though, Martin, given that there were hundreds of people at that meeting on Monday night, that the Dublin City Council will struggle to bring this in beyond where it is at the moment because there is such resistance to it, that there will be pushback?

And just coming back to the cleanliness of the city centre, and I take what you say that, you know, things have improved an awful lot since the bin bag ban was introduced last year.

But there are still problems there.

And you hear people talking a lot about the search for bottles and cans resulting in a lot of the rubbish back on the street again.

Do you see that as a problem?

I wondered this morning when I saw the two upturned bins, they didn't look like they might have fallen over in the wind.

They looked like they might have been deliberately overturned and whether that was at play.

It's just the chaos that it creates with the seagulls, I mean, and the mess afterwards.

And we've heard the Dublin City Council workers are cleaning up twice because of this happening now.

I mean, do you think it's a serious problem?

Dublin City Council estimated it's costing them half a million.

So it's a very big issue for the council.

Just some messages coming in, Martin.

A listener in the East Wall says the street is destroyed where I live with wheelie bins.

Disabled people have to walk in the middle of the road because the pavements are full of wheelie bins as the residents have nowhere to put them.

That's a problem in the city centre as well, isn't it, on collection day?
