The "absolutely disgusting" dog litter problem in Portlaoise will "not be accepted any longer" says a councillor.
A town wide campaign to make Portlaoise dog litter free is needed says Cllr Catherine Fitzgerald.
"Some people just bring out their dogs to do their business at certain times and don't care about others," she said.
Her call was made at the February meeting of Portlaoise Municipal District, where it was heard that one person has been fined so far in 2021 for leaving their dog's waste on the street.
Cllr Fitzgerald said that she has never received as many complaints on the issue, including from a wheelchair user who ended up getting dog waste on his hand.
