Undercover dog poo patrols are being planned in Cork City.

It is part of a new campaign to tackle dog fouling.

Cork City Council’s litter wardens will report for duty in civilian clothes to carry out “out-of-hours enforcement activities” in areas of the city which have been identified as dog-fouling blackspots.

Kieran was joined on The Hard Shoulder by Pete ‘The Vet’ Wedderburn, who thinks this is a great idea, and the latest in a line of initiatives around the country being put in place to combat fouling.
