No Irish city was classified as having “good” air quality over the past two years, according to a new report by the EU’s environmental watchdog.

The European Environment Agency’s updated rating of air quality in cities across Europe in the period 2020-2021 found the air quality in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Waterford only rated as “fair".
