Galway is officially the filthiest city in Ireland (which calls the mind the grafitti on the back of a dirty van, "I wish my wife was this dirty"). A disgruntled Val Hanley, the current Mayor, said it was a wake-up call. Funnily enough, when RTE set up their camera to film the swirling litter around the Spanish Arch last week, after the announcement was made, a number of council workers magically appeared (some of whom looked like they had just received a wake-up call of their own), and began a frenzy of cleaning.
