Dublin remains one of Europe's dirtiest cities, according to the results of survey published today.
Irish Business Against Litter has called on the government to get tough enforcing the laws on litter, to finally allow Dublin shake off the tag of dirty old town.
According to the survey, the city is getting cleaner, but it remains the dirtiest of the ten cities tested, with Riga in Latvia the cleanest.
Nassau Street has some of Dublin's high-end tourist shops, but the study says it has a serious litter problem.
The judges from An Taisce visited the area around Croke Park, on a non-match day - they said it was the only litter blackspot in all of the cities they examined.
Irish Business Against Litter says that some progress has been made clearing up the city's tourist sites.
But they say less attention has been paid to the adjoining areas and that is now where the problem lies.
