Operation Cleanup

One of the important objectives of the Docklands Business Forum is to get business owners, managers and employees more involved in this unique area. Each year they select a few jobs that need to be done and instead of giving out or blaming someone else for not doing them, they roll up our sleeves and do it themselves.

The annual Docklands Volunteer Clean Up gives local employees the satisfaction of a job well done and connects local enterprises with each other and the area. It also gives businesses, through the Forum, more authority to influence the future development of the Docklands with the various local stake-holders. It is a great opportunity for local businesses to make a real, tangible and positive contribution to our area.

The most recent Docklands Business Forum Volunteer Clean Up in April 2013 attracted over 80 volunteers from businesses throughout the Docklands. We painted the hoarding along North Wall Quay & Mayor Street, tidied the rubbish from Pearse Park and cleaned out the flotsam from the Grand Canal Basin.

We are very grateful to Docklands Business Forum for all their work in making the Docklands a nicer place to live and work.

We are also thankful to the teams from Accenture, O2 Telefonica, Maldron Hotel Cardiff Lane, Jury’s Inn, the Gibson Hotel, the CCD, Meehan Associates, A&L Goodbody and a host of Docklands Business Forum volunteers who gave of their time so generously.
