PICS: Have You Spotted These New Signs Erected At The Canal By Portobello?

As the saying* goes - ''give a Dubliner good weather, and watch them head to the canal for cans''.

*may not actually be a saying. 

And the follow-up from these thirsty excursions?

A whole load of rubbish.

We're not the first to draw attention to this topic, and we certainly won't be the last - but now local residents are taking it upon themselves to try to get people to stop drinking in the area, and thus not leaving rubbish behind them.  

Lovely scare tactics. As it's been pretty manky down on the #canal since the good weather kicked in. #CanalBankMank pic.twitter.com/Rbj70K5jlN

The signs were erected today by TBWA in hopes to get people to stop leaving their refuse behind them post-sesh. 

Will this stop you leaving litter behind you next time?
