Bin charges set to be frozen by government

Minister Simon Coveney met with Waste Management companies on Friday to discuss plans to implement pay by weight charges on July 1st. 

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is set to examine the controversy after consumers complained they'd received notifications of price hikes as a result of the new rules. 

It's reported today that Minister Coveney is set to freeze the charges in a bid to give his department more time to examine the matter further.
