There are calls for much tougher enforcement of dog fouling laws, with the fine for failing to clean up after your pet in a public place recently increased to €250.
However, Vision Ireland says only 44 fines were issued across the country last year, raising concerns about how effectively the rules are being enforced.
The organisation says dog fouling can create a particular hazard for people who are blind or visually impaired, making it more difficult and potentially dangerous to navigate public spaces independently.
As it launches its Clear Our Paths campaign, Vision Ireland is calling for greater awareness and stronger action to tackle the problem.
Madeleine McNamara from Vision Ireland joined us on The Agenda this morning to tell us more about the campaign and what needs to change.
