MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

"To ask the Manager if the Council will consider the installation of Signs prohibiting Dog Fouling, or stencil signs on footpaths in Palmerston Village, where residents report increased dog fouling on footpaths?"

REPLY:

As part of a wider approach to addressing dog-fouling which incorporates both the Responsible Dog Ownership programme and the Green Dog Walking campaign, dog-fouling stencils are being painted at strategic locations on pathways within the regional parks in the County.  Following completion of this roll-out, pathways within local and neighbourhood parks will be assessed and stencilled as required but it is not anticipated that stencils will be provided on residential or village centre streets/pathways.
