Tourists landing at Dublin Airport are being met by littered approach roads according to a nationwide survey by Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL).
The study shows continuing improvement in many towns and cities.
It shows that 76% of cities and towns around the country are deemed to be clean.
But it says the area around the main Irish airport is a blackspot with dumping and casual litter on approach roads.
Over half of overseas visitors to this country come through Dublin Airport.
The study has named Cavan as the cleanest town in Ireland.
While north inner-city Dublin has once again been labelled a litter blackspot.
IBAL Chairman is Dr. Tom Kavanagh.
He says suggestions that success rates are linked to funding are wrong.
