Frustrated Louth Dog Fouling Campaigner Says “Nothing Has Changed in 13 Years” - 06/07/2026

Last week on The Agenda, we discussed the growing problem of dog fouling across the North East, with many listeners telling us it's become a daily frustration in their communities.After that programme, we were contacted by Julie Feely, who launched a major campaign on the issue back in 2013. Julie says she worked tirelessly to raise awareness, gathered ideas and best practice from Ireland and overseas, and repeatedly urged local authorities to introduce new measures to tackle the problem.She claims many of those proposals were never acted upon and believes a lack of enforcement and political will has allowed the issue to continue. More than a decade after she first began campaigning, Julie says it's incredibly frustrating that people are still raising the very same complaints.Julie joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
