Naas in Co Kildare has been named Ireland’s cleanest town in a survey of 40 towns and cities. The latest Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL) survey found nationally litter rose slightly in 2020, particularly cities. Dublin’s North Inner City had improved somewhat but was still branded a litter blackspot in the IBAL litter league. ‘Fencing, old bicycles and discarded domestic items’ were among the litter in the water at the canal at Spencer Dock. Both Cork and Limerick city centres fell back this year, while Dublin city centre dropped into the heavily littered category.
