Audio devices are to be installed in a number of locations in Dublin city to encourage dog owners to clean up after their dogs.
This is part of Dublin City Council’s new dog fouling campaign, as they’ve seen a 27pc increase in the number of complaints about dog fouling in the last twelve months.
Dublin City Council’s Litter Prevention Officer Bernie Lillis said that she plans to place the audio devices in non-residential areas so as to avoid excessive noise. The two places I have in mind for them in the very beginning would be Clontarf park and Sandymount park,” she said. “I want to put them in the Cabra area as well.”
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.
