A public dog toilet has been launched in Dublin to discourage dog fouling in the city.
Dublin City Council has announced a number of measures they are taking to prevent dog fouling across Dublin’s North East Inner City. 50 new Dog Poo Dispensers have been erected at "strategic locations" across the area in an effort to promote responsible dog ownership. Efforts are already underway with extra Waste Management resources in place across designated streets. The streets include Buckingham Street, Sean McDermott Street, Summerhill, Railway Street and Killarney Street at present.
And a new pilot Public Doggie Toilet has been built on Sean McDermott Street as well. In a statement, the City Council said: "We hope dog owners who exercise their dogs in the area will encourage their pets to use the toilet area."
