Irish people don't see litter, hence its not a political issue. Our system of litter prevention is based on trivial fines and isn't enforced in anyway by Local Authorities.

After cost, litter accounts for the 2nd highest level of dissatisfaction among foreign visitors, according to Failte Ireland.

We need a system of litter prevention based on giving litter an economic value.
