Leitrim town named one of the cleanest in the country
Carrick-on-Shannon is once again at the top of the list
Leitrim was once again ranked among the country's most scenic areas, as Carrick on Shannon finished in the top five of the cleanest areas in Ireland.
The south Leitrim town finished in joint fifth place in the latest litter survey by business group Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL) earlier this week.
Sligo once again was named the cleanest town in the IBAL rankings, with Monaghan coming in second, followed by Waterford City and Ballinasloe.
Limerick City Centre was the only one of the 40 areas surveyed that scored in the ‘littered’ category of the rankings.
No town or city occupied the “seriously littered” or “litter blackspot” categories at the foot of the IBAL table.
