Dublin City Council have promised to tackle litter left on the Grand Canal by revellers enjoying the good weather with extra resources.
Last Saturday morning, the Charlemont area of the canal was covered in pizza boxes, cans and bottles. Locals and passers-by posted images and videos of the filth to social media which caused a backlash.
Every summer when the weather is good at weekends, Dubliners flock to the canals to enjoy drinks and food with friends. This often results in litter being left behind.
