Question:257 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for the Environment his views regarding the soiling of beaches, walkways, parks, roads and footpaths by dogs; his views on whether the current legislation allowing for local authorities to make by-laws is satisfactory in view of the fact that anonymous complaints cannot be accommodated; if he will endeavour to have more dog wardens appointed and a publicity campaign organised in this regard in view of the health concerns involved; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
