Pooper Scooper
Dog Fouling
Dog fouling is a serious business! Not only does it spoil the environment for everybody else but it is also a serious health hazard, especially to our children playing in open spaces. If you have a dog, it is up to you as a responsible citizen to keep our environment safe and clean up if your dog fouls in a public place. If not, you are liable to be fined €150 under the Litter Pollution Act 1997.
Dog dirt is a health hazard and can cause disease, best know of which is a roundworm called toxocara canis. If the eggs of this worm are swallowed, it can result in a range of symptoms from aches and pains to bronchial conditions. In rare cases, sight can be damaged.
North Tipperary County Council provides free pooper scoopers to the public, available from Council Offices and Libraries.
