Businesses hit out at litter blackspot poll

BUSINESSES leaders have hit back at a survey which found that parts of Dublin were a litter blackspot.

Dublin City Business Improvement District (BID) fears tourism, revenue and jobs could be jeopardised by what it claimed was misleading and untrue information on the cleanliness of the city.

It said the Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL) survey was amateur and included residential areas, presenting them as Dublin city centre.
