'Those standards did not meet what the public and our citizens are entitled to and what they expect of us.'
The Chief Executive of Belfast City Council has made an apology to the public and councillors over the local authority’s highly criticised bin collections during the Christmas period.
Mr Walsh, who was appointed to the top job last March, told the committee: “As Chief Executive I think it is important I issue a public apology, and an apology to all of you, in terms of what has occurred with the bin collection over the Christmas period. Obviously those standards did not meet what the public and our citizens are entitled to and what they expect of us.“Nor do those standards meet what we expect of ourselves.
On Boxing Day the council apologised to residents for inconvenience caused by a lack of bin collection over the festive period, and blamed a shortage of drivers. Collections which normally take place on Tuesday were not emptied on December 27th, with residents told they would have to wait two weeks.
