There has been a 27 per cent increase in the number of complaints received in the last year with a majority of people surveyed describing how they fell foul of the problem on the street.
And slightly more than half of those in the survey (51 per cent) have come across dog poo in their local park.
The council revealed during the launch of phase two of its ‘Dog Poo, It’s Everybody’s Business’ campaign that residents have also been contacting their local representatives to complain about the ongoing issue of dog fouling in their area.
A suite of outdoor and digital adverts, a video and a radio ad have been created for this campaign, which will be rolled out in Dublin city from this week for a two week period.
