Dublin city has less litter now than in previous years - with the north inner city no longer deemed a "litter blackspot", according to a new survey.
The Irish Business Against Litter survey found major improvements in the country's cities and towns. Last year, just over half of those urban areas surveyed where found to be clean, while this year, three quarters were considered clean.
Cities, including Dublin, showed the biggest improvements, while Naas in Kildare was named the cleanest overall. Dublin’s north inner city was again considered "littered" - but it was much improved on 12 months ago, when it was labelled a "litter blackspot".
