Vape litter on the rise as PPE drops on IBAL survey.
Vaping devices were included as a litter type for the first time and were present in 6% of sites."Litter levels were pretty much unchanged on 12 months ago," he said.
"Of the 30-plus towns that we surveyed, only Tralee and Dundalk failed to make the mark of cleanliness. "It was a different case, as ever, when we came to our city areas: only 28% of those surveyed were clean."Cork north side also fell to littered - it's a tale of two halves as ever. "As we welcome our peak tourist numbers to our country, they're going to be greeted with clean towns but the gateways to those towns - our cities - our falling short of the mark," he added.
