Wow, that is shocking. I have to say that in the ten years or so that I've been visiting Irish sites I've yet to see anything this bad. The odd can or broken bottle maybe, tea-lights and neo-pagan detritus aren't that uncommon, but neglect and overgrowth are usually the only bothersome problems.

Sad, but an increasing problem. With no domestic rate system, rubbish disposal can be very expensive. Locally, a small car trailer of rubbish costs around 50 euro, or around 40 quid to dump. This varies from county to county, and in these recessionary times fly tipping is on the increase.
