Volunteers are needed for an urgent clean-up after the Grand Canal was left desecrated by rubbish this weekend.
The event planning service Alternative Dublin have organised the clean-up in response to the incident. Dubliners took to the canal as temperatures soared above 20 degrees on Friday, leaving hundreds of discarded cans and other waste items in their wake.
A local councillor has hit out at the shocking levels of litter on the canal and led calls for a 24/7 cleaning crew in the area. Alternative Dublin are encouraging anyone with free time on Sunday morning to get involved with their community-focused clean up.
