Kilkenny GAA club considering dog ban as more poo is found on pitches
Do you clean up after your dog?
A Kilkenny GAA club has stated they may have 'no choice' but to ban a man's best friend due to ongoing dog fouling.
Posting to social media, St Patrick's GAA Club in Ballyragget, said the issue is causing 'hygiene concerns' for club members using their pitches.
"Unfortunately, dog fouling has become an issue on the pitches and surrounding areas, creating hygiene concerns for players, children, and the community," a spokesperson for the club said.
"We appreciate that most owners clean up after their dogs, but a small number are not, causing problems for everyone. Please clean up and take the waste home to keep the grounds and neighbouring fields clean.
"We don’t want to ban dogs, but if this continues, we may have no choice. Let’s all do our part—thanks for your cooperation," the post concluded.
