Waterford bids to tackle dog fouling

Waterford Council is to commence a ‘softly-softly’ approach in conjunction with enforcement measures in a bid to eradicate dog fouling across the city and county.

The measure will be combined with other initiatives such as signage and the Green Dog Walking community scheme in a determined bid to eradicate the problem.

Addressing April’s Dungarvan-Lismore Municipal District meeting, director of services for environment and water Fergus Galvin said the council would dispatch two full-time wardens along popular dog-walking routes.
