Cleaning up dog waste is the full legal responsibility of the dog owner, Meath County Council has stated, in response to a motion from a local councillor calling for dog waste bag dispensers to be installed around Athboy town.
At the July meeting of the Kells Municipal District, Councillor Mike Bray asked the council to consider providing dispensers at selected locations to help tackle persistent dog fouling in public spaces.
In its reply, the council said it does not install dog waste bag points except at large recreational sites, such as Blackwater Park and beaches.
Councillor Mike Bray spoke to us this morning on The Agenda about this.
