Buncrana named Ireland’s 10th cleanest town in Ireland

Buncrana has secured a top ten place in the latest Irish Business Against Litter survey.

The town has risen 11 places to be named 10th cleanest town in Ireland.

Eight out of ten sites surveyed in Buncrana received the top litter grade.

According to the An Taisce report, these included Buncrana Library, Castle Avenue and St. Mary’s Oratory.

The body says the Bring Centre, Super Valu was very much deserving of the top litter grade with a notable improvement at the site.

By far the most heavily littered site was said to be the Laneway in Ardaravan Square (Dr Denis McLaughlin Road).

Naas has been crowned Ireland’s cleanest town for 2021.

The latest IBAL survey shows litter levels have risen slightly across the country, with cities again faring badly.
