Dear Editor,
We have got some bad news. The dog litter situation in Galway is a disgrace. We have seen it ourselves on the streets and in the parks. Nearly everyone in Galway looks down when they walk because there is dog litter everywhere.

When people walk their dogs, they should bring something to pick up their dog litter. Nobody else will do it for them. If they just walk off, they are just being lazy.

The city council should hire more litter wardens to catch people who are letting their dogs litter. It's against the law. Also, the city council should put up more signs and bins with bags for dog litter.

This is not a joke because we see dog poo everywhere we go.

Yours sincerely,
The Pupils of 3rd Class,
St Nicholas's NS,

Flushable Dog Poop Bags

Galway, Dog shit capital of Ireland!?!
written by ola, April 07, 2008

I'm just moved to Galway from Norway. I have heard many good things about Galway, and it is beautifully situated in Galway bay.

I have been using the promenade for afternoon walks, from the Galway Golf Club to city centre. Walking this route it is hard NOT to notice all the dog shit left by dog owners that didn't clean up after their dogs.
Some part of the walkway dog shit is spotted every meter.

It seems to be a very popular walk, all type of people are using this walkway. Kids playing, kicking there ball in dog poop and then licking the ball...(you get the picture).

Galway being so dependent on tourism, what sort of impression do we give the visiting tourists...That people of Galway can't take care of the city?

The dog-litter-bag-despencers never have any bags in them, but that is no excuse for not picking up after your dog. And if you are that mean that you can't afford your own bag, you should not have a dog in the first place.

I've been walking next to a dog owner and the dog, the dog did its business and they just walked. Where is the head? The world is not your trash bin, have some sense!

It is a shame to see such a nice city being littered by lazy dog owners.

I'm reading this thread, and I could not agree more.
Please do something about this.

Dog poo and barking dogs...I'm sick of it
written by Paddy, February 29, 2008

I live in a housing estate where you can't walk out to get into your car without feeling the awful squelch under your foot and the constant barking of the vermin means that getting to sleep can be a problem at times.
Asking the council to do something is a waste of time and so I produced a website to highlight the problem:
dogs-h-i-tdepot.com...all the one word without the hyphens.
