82 fines were handed out last year for dog fouling.
The majority of dog owners are responsible, and only a small number of people don't clean up after their pets.
That's the opinion of Cathaoirleach of Westmeath County Council, Liam McDaniel, as figures from the NCBI show no dog fouling fines were issued in the county last year.
Only 82 dog fouling fines were handed out in the country last year, with just three of those in the midlands.
Fianna Fáil councillor McDaniel says dog fouling can be very harmful:
