Irish Business Against Litter
The North Mayo capital Ballina has ranked 6th in a recent litter survey the Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL).
An Taisce The National Trust for Ireland assessed litter levels in forty cities and towns across Ireland.
Ballina was found to be cleaner then the European norms.
IBAL’s Conor Horgan said: “Today’s tourists demand high levels of cleanliness and these results indicate that’s what they will be getting this year when they come to Ireland.”
Established in 1996, Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL) is an alliance of companies sharing a belief that continued economic prosperity – notably in the areas of tourism, food and direct foreign investment is contingent on a clean, litter-free environment.
