Audible dog poo alarms to be installed in Cork City

You heard it here first — audible dog poo alarms are to be installed in Cork City as part of a new anti-dog fouling pilot project.

City officials have confirmed that two audio messaging devices will be installed this month at The Marina, on the south bank of the River Lee, and in Colmcille Park in Mayfield on the north side of the city.

The devices, which will be triggered when a person passes by, will play an audio message reminding dog owners to clean up after their animals.
