Cork city and Farranree bottom of the table in litter survey
A new rural urban divide is emerging as Ireland's towns are getting cleaner while our cities are getting dirtier. That's according to the group Irish Business against Litter which found that parts of Cork, Dublin and Limerick are at the bottom of the table of cleanliness. Farranree in Cork has been deemed a litter black spot while the city as a whole remains ‘moderately littered’. Meanwhile three quarters of towns and cities were found to be as clean as or cleaner than their European counterparts. Cobh has been deemed ‘Cleaner than European Norms’ in 14th position, while Fermoy has been considered ‘clean’ and came in 24th. Kilkenny and Cavan were once again Ireland's cleanest towns, followed by Killarney, Tramore and Longford, and were among 18 towns to be deemed cleaner than the European average.
