Time to clean up our act on tourism

Wander down Dublin’s Grafton Street after a decent stretch of good weather and one can only be struck by the filthy stains — many caused by poorly maintained delivery vans — evident across the recently remodelled pavements.

Many litter bins are filled to overflowing. On the Grand Canal, large amounts of green slime clog the water.

It all rather makes a mockery of the brave PR campaigns organisations such as Tourism Ireland engage in.
