Following a meeting today between the Lord Mayor and the Dublin City Council Chief Executive, Owen Keegan, to discuss core city centre street cleanliness both agreed that immediate action is to be taken to increase the street power washing schedule.
The Lord Mayor commented that "we have not been adjusting our power washing schedule across the core city centre area as footfall has increased both during the day and at night. It has been recognised that we must do better and today the Chief Executive and myself agreed that immediate action will be taken to increase the street power washing schedule. This will include an intensive power washing of our core city centre streets and a more frequent follow-up rota."
"We will also work on improving how commercial waste is managed in the core city centre areas particularly bags containing food waste that too often end up torn by seagulls."
