This is a great initiative provided that a) there are no additional costs on businesses and b) the council put an actual working plan in place
Anything that adds costs at this point could be catastrophic.

I’d like to see the 24 hour cleaning lads tackle the alleyway from Marlborough Street to Talbot, there’s smells and liquids on the ground there that I’ve never encountered anywhere else on Earth

Litter wardens at night, sounds like a sound idea but also a guarantee to be assaulted? Or do they just mean clean up staff?

Why not nationalise waste collection & management?
Most other European cities and countries have Council/Municipal led waste disposal and collection.

It was one of the biggest WTFs for me, when I first arrived to Ireland. And in my first apartment on South Circular Road I had to put bags outside myself, with a sticker on it… Disgusting. Like why? Such a rich country cannot afford bins?
So I recently visited Paris, and by the gods, if you exclude the smell of piss and smoke, Paris is cleaner than Dublin. Maybe it’s the Olympics, but seriously I don’t get why it is this difficult for Dublin to be as clean.

Not the business’ fault, that’s the way keywaste and the council wants it otherwise they’re not collected. Speaking as someone who works in one said business’. Don’t disagree with you completely but the main problem is the drs bullshit, people go around tearing bags open looking for plastic bottles and cans.

Dunno why it’s being called a ban, isn’t that what they’ve been instructed to do?
