Dublin lagging behind in moves to tackle litter problem

Dublin remains a major litter blackspot, according to the latest survey by the Irish Business Against Litter organisation.

The survey has found that most other parts of the country are making massive improvements, with almost half the areas involved reaching litter-free status.

However, the capital is lagging behind and showing no signs of improving.

Maynooth, Naas, Navan and Wiclow are also named as litter blackspots, while Dundalk, Fermoy, Galway city, Wexford and Youghal are all litter free.
