Summary
Limerick City’s shocking plummet to dead last in An Taisce’s anti-litter report has sparked fury among councillors, who call the findings “very suspect” and demand transparency. Despite praising cleaning crews and local businesses, Environment Director Kieran Lehane admits the city’s textile bank on Dock Road—its biggest penalty point—has become a dumping ground, prompting consideration of its removal. With over 2,000 inspections conducted last year, council staff are now targeting hotspots, but are stretched thin. Councillors like Dan McSweeney and Sarah Kiely challenge the report’s credibility, urging An Taisce to explain their methods and justify Limerick’s dismal 40th-place ranking.
