Many of us have been unfortunate enough to walk in dog poo when walking on Irish roads. Even with a fining system in place and poo bags available in some public areas, some people could not be bothered to clean up after their dog.

Cllrs in South Dublin have called for a new way to fine culprits. By introducing a DNA swab, we will be able to track the dog back to their owners and prevent further littering.

Do you think this would be a good solution, or is it a waste of time?
