I visited dublin last year. I've been to cities all over the world... dublin is a disgrace it's absolutely filthy . Also feels very unsafe

Graffiti everywhere also nobody prosecuted. City is an open asylum.

Dublin council 1.5 billion a year. Wheres the money going? Glass and rubbish everywhere but its all clean around the Dail.

Shows you they don’t care even for the tourists doesnt it? Maybe it’ll take tourists stopping coming in to wake them up, 1 billion lost in revenue for tourism because of lack hotels🤮

I work between Grafton St and Dame St. It’s filthy and full of homeless people and tents. Open drug taking. Garbage bags everywhere. Derelict buildings. Friend of mine was attacked at an ATM (on Baggot street) recently and suffered brain damage as a result of the attack. Horrible. I’m just back from Lisbon. It’s beautiful and clean. Well policed. Buildings are beautiful. Feels safe. We are so so so far behind. And yet we are way way way more expensive. How do we even start to fix all these problems.

For a start I’d say more garda around but we don’t have enough garda in the force may of them dropping out, but according to the goverment it’s not a problem for any longer, just generally have more cleaners around town cleaning up in the mornings, it’s funny all Goverment buildings are very clean

She declared a litter emergency! Not once has she declared what has done or what she is going to do. All total abstract nonsense. Arriving to an interview dressed in such a manner speaks volumes. Not a serious person.

We, the citizens should also take responsibility for the state of our city. Not just the authorities.

I live in Madrid and there is a bin on every lamppost. There are council workers and bin men who do several runs to clean each neighborhood daily. The city is clean and well maintained and much bigger than Dublin.

The Gardaí aren't in the city because they can't afford to live there! Its an absolute slap in the face that this government celebrates a budget surplus when the country is crying out for investment. Build homes, build hospitals, improve public transport. They're not being asked to reinvent the wheel. Unfortunately it would appear that effective governing is bad for business.

They don’t care that’s the problem

Aswell as the rubbish, the pavement are a disgusting patchwork of badly tarmacced and stone paths covered in cracks. The paving is so terrible, I have turned my ankle many times. So even if you clean the streets theres still in a shocking state with chewing gum all over. Its a travesty that O'Connell bridge is just a tarmac pavement.... ZERO creative vision in this depressing city. Like lipstick on a pig.

Gypo beggars everywhere hounding u for money

I was up in dublin on sunday and its seems very simple bins i found it very hard to find a place to put a used coffeee cup.

"A much more empowered city council" When you here a green talk about power, you know quite well they mean the power to tax the people. Tax after Tax is all this party knows. Absolute political pioson.

Nothing funny about that. You a bogger?

Pathetic answers / Decades before Dublins Right ready clean

Once you hear "holistic approach" to a question on litter issues you know you are goosed. Nothing will change.

I thought there is a Mayor of Dublin. What do they actually do?

How is it the boy scouts can leave a site clean after their jamborees ?

More people need to learn from the boy scouts and pick up after themselves. Leave places how they found them or better.

In Dublin all through the 80s and 90s back then it was big heavy traffic going through the city, that was solved eventually with the Tunnell, now it's congestion homeless and refugees...

Yes! There is a disconnect between local authorities and the people who live within the city limits...

There is still a huge gap across from the Gresham Hotel. This area has still no being developed after all these years. O' Connell Street is the only boulevard in Ireland 💀🚔💀

Dublin was a beautiful city but due to goverment its been let go down the toilet.if you go to any european capital there is rubbish collectios going on during the night public and private companies and also city council street cleaning its not difficult to organise this surely

O Connell bridge needs to be upgraded, it is dull and uninteresting

More planting of trees in the city centre and more pedestrianized...

Too much junk food on the ground and in bins for them to eat.

Every tree near me many 40 years old and not far from Garden of Remembrance is about to be clear felled for new Social Housing.

Pigeons are also a big problem

If your talking about cities in Europe Dublin is a Kip with all the rubbish being left everywhere, need to sort it out

Cut the social welfare and the situate will fix its self. Cllr are only putting a plaster on a cut ..

Holistic , empowered, 🙄 buzz words .

Janet is a joke but infairness at least she came on and faces the hard questions. Regarding the drug dealing it seems the council and the Police (garda) are afraid to confront the gangs simple as.

Horner? What is happening to our mature trees? A line of mature trees near Black Church about to be clear felled! All useless empty talk.

Underground bins like other cities. And elected major and council with Dublin having its own budget
