The county town is now ranked in 32nd position among 40 towns surveyed, having dropped 8 places since the summer.

The final litter survey of 2015 by Irish Business Against Litter shows Ennis has dropped from 24th position in August to 32nd place at the end of the year.

The county town is placed in the same position as it was in at the end of 2014 but it's now classed as "moderately littered", having previously been ranked as "Clean to European Norms".

The report by An Taisce says that residential areas in Ennis got the top litter grade.

While, it also highlighted the Francis Street Bottle Bank which it says has a novel design to prevent the accumulations of rubbish, that so frequently occur at recycling facilities.

The two most heavily littered sites in Ennis were Knox’s Bridge Amenity Scheme and St. Anne’s School.

There was a slight fall-off in the number of litter-free towns across Ireland in this latest survey, but no towns were deemed ‘litter blackspots’ and only one was ‘seriously littered’.
