Communities called on to clean up as part of campaign

Community and residents associations in Cork City are being advised to get ready for an annual national spring clean next month.

Bags and gloves will be handed out to any groups looking to organise a clean-up in their area

Organised by An Taisce, the campaign is targeting four of the city’s major litter problems: Chewing gum stuck to the ground; cigarette butts discarded on pavements; graffiti; and dog faeces.
