Cllr Linehan Foley Calls For Action On Youghal’s Dog Fouling Problem


by JORDAN MCCARTHY


Dog fouling has become a major problem on the streets of East Cork, even more so in recent months, and Cllr Mary Linehan Foley is calling for action to tackle what has become a ‘huge health and safety issue’. This is a concern which Cllr Linehan Foley has been raising for some time now, but she has stepped up her efforts in recent weeks. After walking near the Mall area of Youghal recently, she was disgusted by the amount of dog litter on the


footpath. This prompted


her to highlight the issue with both locals and the Au- thority. She told the East Cork Journal that


the


onus is on the dog owners, rather than local Council workers, to clean up after their pets. ‘‘This has gone beyond


a nuisance. I saw it myself first-hand in the Mall area. It’s like a minefield up by the Golf Links Road as well.


I


have put in numerous com- plaints. It’s an educational thing.


It’s not the Council’s


fault, and they provide the bins and the pooper scoop- ers free of charge.
