Dirty old town: Dublin named the worst litter blackspot in Ireland

DUBLINERS are set to feel down in the dumps — literally as well as figuratively — as the city has officially been branded the worst litter blackspot in Ireland.

A nationwide survey shows it came last of 53 cities and towns inspected for the Irish Business Against Litter organisation.

It shows that Dublin, unlike many other parts of the country, is failing to clean up its act and is living up to its “dirty” reputation.
