hmm, uses the title of an old song showing Dublin has always been this dirty (not an excuse, pls clean the fucking place up), and then somehow manages to argue that this is a new phenomenon.
Dublin is cleaner than it has ever been in it’s history
It’s not magically dirty. It’s dirty because people throwing their shit in places that aren’t bins.
Yea, some more bins would help, but doesn’t take away from the fundamental fact that you are responsible for disposing of your waste.
Scumbags gonna scumbag.
I can’t remember a point in my life when Dublin City didn’t smell like literal sewage nearly everywhere you go and the Liffey didn’t look like sewage.
Having had to spend some time in Dublin recently, and it is mentioned in the article, but they need to stop allowing refuse collection in the form of those plastic bags. They look terrible and they get broken all the time.
The guys magical cycle route through Dublin was before the street sweepers were out, there’s daily sweeping that happens all along that route. DCC have made lots of progress in street cleaning, there’s interactive maps to check street cleaning schedules you can even make a request to get your street cleaned I’ve used on a couple of occasions.
Dublin was always dirty.
Not becoming. It is. Always has been…
It’s cos assholes won’t carry an item more than a meter if they are done with it.
It isn’t the ‘antos’ as I seen someone call em but assholes from all classes. They opened up the mountains to the public and they just started dumping shit bags and coffee cups all over the mountains.
it always has been a dirty town
Very true and very sad!
I have seen every type of people in Dublin just putting trash on the street, throwing their cans/bottle or mcdo bag on the street! It’s just a lack of education to be honest
But the bins should definitely be change, they are way too small here
Ive worked in Upper Gardiner street for nearly 10 years now.
The DCC are an absolute disgrace. They do basically nothing to keep the area clean (except the day before a big GAA game because they know someone important going there might see the reality of what they do)..
Never mind the people dumping rubbish ect, the fact is (and i think most people dont realise this) is that in a lot of Dublin city they do not clean the footpaths at all. **Unless it rains the vast majority of Dublin 1 footpaths will never be cleaned/washed**. Bird shit everywhere, stains everywhere, dog shit everywhere. Now its warm and it wont rain for a while, people will be actually sticking to the paths in places. This is the same all the way down to the Point venue. Even when the Government were in the convention center they didnt bother to clean the area. There were benches in front of it on the liffey last year where builders would smoke and drop cig butts. There were honestly 1,000’s of them there in the summer last year which showed how long it was that they hadn’t cleaned the path there. .
The only people who do their jobs properly in that pathetic organization are the people who are in charge of collecting the rates from businesses. They are bang on the game when it comes to collecting money for little or nothing back to make sure they can pay their own vastly over paid salaries.
I know so many language students in the area coming from places like Mexcio city who cant believe how dirty the whole city is. Its a national shame. And its all down to the pure laziness of the DCC and their workers.
The whole DCC and what they do needs to be urgently looked at. They are a major part of why this city is going down the tubes fast.
Becoming…. 😂😂😂
I walk through a park in Dublin 6 every morning, and even though though this park has a warden, it’s still filthy first thing in the morning. People obviously have food or drink on the benches the evening before, and then just leave all their litter behind. One of the park exits actually has a bin, madness.
We can spend all the money we want on litter wardens, but it really is up to the individual to use a bin for their litter.
Believe it or not, it’s a lot better than Dublin in the 1980s, the plastic bag charge and recycling awareness have seen a big improvement, but it’s still really bad.
Take a visit to Vienna, as I have several times, and see the difference.
