Good result for Tallaght in IBAL survey
The latest results of the Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL) Anti Litter League show a marked improvement in the cleanliness of Tallaght which is now rated Clean to Europeans Norms.
According to the survey “Tallaght, previously ‘moderately littered’, improved to Clean to Europeans Norms. This is a great achievement for a large population area like Tallaght, which improved in 2011 from littered to moderately littered, and is now deemed Clean to European norms.†The survey states that “The local authority and the people of Tallaght should be proudâ€
There were no seriously littered sites in Tallaght and six of the ten sites surveyed were clear of littered and very well maintained. In fact the Tallaght Luas stop was “pristine and probably the best Luas stop in the countryâ€.
The Mayor of South Dublin County Council Cathal King stated “I am delighted with the performance of Tallaght in the IBAL survey. This is evidence of the good work that has been put into maintaining a litter free area. I wish to congratulate the Council, the businesses and the people of Tallaght. This positive news reflects well on our County town. I urge everyone to keep up the good work and maintain this level of cleanlinessâ€.
“The Council has reorganised the cleansing schedule for the County in the past months and the success of this approach is reflected in positive results in the IBAL survey†said John Quinlivan, Director of Environmental Services. “The cleansing schedule is mapped and is now available to elected members. We will be making this available to the public before the end of the yearâ€.
