Laois The Only Midlands County To Issue Dog-Fouling Fines In 2024

Wednesday, 20 August 2025 15:13

Three fines were issued to people in the county last year.

Laois County Council is the only local authority that handed out fines for dog-fouling last year.

New figures from Vision Ireland show only 3 fines were issued to people in the county, with the local authorities in Offaly and Westmeath giving out none in 2024.

Just 48 fines were issued nationally, with Cork handing out the highest number of fines at just 11 fines.

Bray-based vet, Pete Wedderburn, says dog and litter wardens would need to be on patrol for longer hours to catch more people:
