It's the first set of research by IBAL post lockdown.
The latest Irish Business Against Litter survey has had overall positive results.
However, some of the results from Ireland's cities has not faired so good.
Dublin's north inter-city came in at rock bottom of the list.
According to the IBAL research, the area is known as a 'litter blackspot'.
Dublin's city centre is amongst a number of areas described as 'littered'.
