Cllr Ciaran Fisher
Louth County Council has released data on the number of dog fouling fines it issued last year, along with fixed penalties issued in relation to waste presentation bye-laws.
It follows a question from Cllr Ciarán Fisher at the Louth County Council March meeting, where Cllr Fisher asked, "for the number of fines issued for 1) Dog Fouling and 2) Fixed Penalties issued, and followed up on, for repeat offenders under the Waste Presentation Bye-Laws."
Cllr Fisher also asked, "Are we approaching a position to put CCTV in problem areas yet?"
Replying to Cllr Fisher, Director of Organisational Development, Joe McGuinness said that, "1) Five dog fouling fixed penalties were issued in 2024.
"2) 17 Fixed Penalty Notices have been issued under the Segregation, Storage and Presentation of Household and Commercial Waste Bye Laws 2019.
