Dog owners should take responsibility for their dog dirt – council

Dog owners should bin their pets’ dirt.

That was the overriding message that came out of a discussion on the dirty matter at this week’s meeting of the Lifford-Stranorlar Municipal District.

Councillor Patrick McGowan called for the council to provide special ‘dog dirt’ bins.

However, Council Engineer, Mr Bryan Cannon, told Cllr McGowan that pet owners should take more responsibility for their animals.

“We have a message of ‘any bag, any bin’, but Cllr McGowan has raised a valid point.” Mr Cannon said.
