Concerns over dog fouling epidemic in county towns

Galway Bay fm newsroom - The County Council has been asked to consider putting wardens on flexi-time hours to tackle dog fouling.

However, he says 9 to 5 warden shifts are pointless as most dog walkers are out between 7 and 9 in the morning, or after the work day has ended.
