WASTE TRANSFER STATIONS

councillor Michael Cahill has called on Kerry County Council to introduce credit card facilities at all Transfer Stations in the county, as a matter of priority. councillor Cahill said he has been approached by members of the public and business people in Killarney, Milltown, Killorglin, Dingle and Kenmare, who said that they pay all their bills with their Credit Card and that such a facility would be a great help. ‘I believe this facility should be in all of Kerry County Council’s Transfer Stations’ stated the Rossbeigh man. The Fianna Fail councillor said most businesses and service providers have credit card facilities today and Kerry County Council should have likewise. councillor Cahill has submitted a motion for this month’s meeting of the council in respect of the matter.
