Dublin City Council spent 210-thousand euros removing graffiti and street art this year.
The bill's down slightly on last year according to the Times Ireland edition - but not everyone has been happy with the clean-ups.
The council's been criticised for getting rid of a number of popular murals - including the Stormzy painting in Smithfield and the Michael D Higgins portrait in Temple Bar.
