Lord Mahor Ray McAdam shared “Team Dublin Clean-up captures the very best of our city. Every year, communities across Dublin roll up their sleeves and take pride in the streets, parks and neighbourhoods they call home. We encourage everyone to take part in this year’s Team Dublin Clean-Up. Groups across the city make huge efforts throughout the year to keep their areas clean, attractive and beautiful places to live and visit.”
