These by-laws are already in place in many beaches and they are largely ignored and nobody enforces them. We have plenty of laws in this country but with very little enforcement they’re not worth the paper they are written on.
Example being – Dublin city council has issued only two fines for dog fouling over the past three years.The country’s largest local authority issued no fines last year, two in 2020 and none in 2019. Fingal issued 11 fines last year, the most fines of any of the country’s city councils, followed by three in Limerick, two in south Dublin county council, two in Cork, one in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown and none in Galway.
Now all it needs is actual enforcing.
I guess that’s Joe Duffy sorted for tomorrow’s show.
Looks like we’re going to have beach cat summer.
Good but of course it’s big business that’s doing the worst pollution
Ffs, we need to open more places to dogs, not less.
