My town is filthy, and it smells awful on a sunny day too!
Relying on rain to clean the city may be an issue..
Dublin is the mistaken dirty old town
How is it that dirty. I know the council might not be the best at cleaning the streets. But what is making it that bad?
Those benches look very inviting. Grand spot to sit down and contemplate the beauty of the Liffey
I walked home from town yesterday and it was very sticky.
The James Joyce bridge is every bit as bad, still had the plastic bag covering the bin from Plastic Joe’s visit until about two weeks ago….and the bang of piss off the bench is unreal.
Have they fixed the lights that have been broken for several years now?
The state of Dublin city centre in general
I was in Barcelona recently, which has a bigger population, is more densely populated, has more tourists, has less rain, and a 30 billion lower GDP, and nowhere was it dirty as Dublin.
The state of ~~Rosie Hackett Bridge in~~ Dublin City Centre
Corporate Ireland loves glass and white granite and brushed steel and absolutely refusing to keep any of it clean.
Has anybody ever even SEEN a power-washer being used in Dublin?
You know in most European cities, people are PAID to CLEAN the STREETS.
thats the stickiest looking st i ever did see
If you were to lick that you’d have aids, covid, cancer and typhus
Bridge… water, flows, under? Long suction pipe with a power washer… not using fresh drinkable water.. but I doubt people will give two shits about it as long as it looks clean
I would love to take a power washer to that bridge.
Owen Keegan probably too busy planning a white water rafting facility for himself, couldn’t be arsed doing his fucking job. The man nearly ruined Dun Laoghaire and is now doin his best fuck up town even more. How someone so incompetent got to such a high position is astounding.
Galway is apocalyptically filthy at the moment. You’ve nearly to leap between parts of the street that aren’t smeared in piss, vomit, shit and Christ knows what else. City councils doing the absolute bare minimum, as usual. It’s not hard to hose the place down once a week.
The state of Dublin City Centre
Our cities are sadly very ugly, dereliction everywhere, litter too, dirty streets like the photo there all over the place, junkies and scumbags hanging around on every corner too, the architecture is not one bit pleasing to the eye either, just a very shabby and gritty look.
Even Grafton, O’Connell and Henry street look rotten, they need a proper clean, 6am with the power washer. State of the place is awful and can only get worse if left unaddressed
That granite was an absolutely awful choice of paving for the city center. Henry St and Grafton St are much the same.
It just absolutely absorbs everything and is very stubborn to clean even with a power washer. My back was broke doing it weekly outside our smoking area/beer garden. You’d to throw warm soapy water over it leave it sit, scrub it with a yard brush and leave it sit, then power washer it, then rinse and repeat again to get it fully clean. 3-4hrs every week on a tiny 20x20ft section never mind a full street a few km long.
Disgrace. The benches too, a lick of Ronseal would work wonders. And the DCC can borrow my Karcher if they want.

Dublin City is a kip. Smell of piss off the place
Feck all pride in our country anyway. It’s a real shame.
Was in Poland recently it’s absolutely spotless
The absentee landlord vibe of Dublin
It’s the same all over – was down in dun Laoghaire yesterday and in town today, and all this lovely paving is covered in grime and dirt. Really selling ourselves as a tourist hotspot.
The problem is a lack of accountability. This same problem exists across our public sector.
The whole city centre like this. The most walked route by tourists from Dame street to Guinness is just so dirty it is shocking. Wtf is with management of this city?
Dublin is extremely dirty city. Other day I wanted to lock my bike next Penneys/GPO and the stench of piss was unbearable. My lock is bit finicky so it took like 30 seconds to lock it but I almost vomited twice.

“What’s the point in cleaning it if it’ll just get dirty again?” – Dublin City Council, probably.

It’s there no tidy towns committee in Dublin?
