Mannix Flynn, Independent Councillor for Dublin City Council, sits down with Pat to discuss new rules that have just come into effect that aim to ban plastic refuse sacks on select streets,

Businesses that fail to comply from 1 January could face fines of €150, as the transitionary period of just over three months has now ended.

From now on, all occupiers of buildings on the list of streets on the south side of the city will not be permitted to present waste in plastic bags on city streets for collection.
