Bags of dog faeces being thrown up trees in Midleton cemetery

County councillors have expressed their anger and disgust at dog owners who are throwing bags of their pets’ faeces onto trees at a cemetery in a town in Co Cork.

The issue was raised at a meeting of the East Cork Municipal District Council by Fine Gael councillor Susan McCarthy, who said she could not understand why people were bagging the dog dirt and then throwing it up on trees at the main cemetery in Midleton.
