There's going to be a route selection report, they say, which will identify the preferred route.

They wish to acknowledge and thank all those who have engaged.

And they say it's intended this project will progress through a Part 8 planning app by the end of this year.

OK, Brian O'Connell, thank you very much indeed for that report from Moira in Limerick.

I thought you were going to say the word there for a minute, David.

Good morning from Cork City Centre where, as you said, City Council has launched this campaign deliberately designed to stimulate debate around this issue of dog fouling.

So from today, posters will be rolled out around bus stops in various locations here in Cork.

Coincides as well with a campaign to hand out free dog poo bags from Monday to Friday at City Hall while stocks last.

And as we know,

Like, this really is an issue in many places, but councils around the country have really found it difficult to police it.

There is an on-the-spot €150 fine.

Last year, Cork City Council didn't issue any fines.

Now, Fine Gael councillor Joe Kavanagh is chair of the Dog Fowling Awareness Committee and he told me why this campaign is necessary.

OK, one of the ways, I suppose, of getting at that 1% are fines.

Now, we've really not been able to issue any fines in the past year.

Yeah, so just in case you think it's just me that's trying to stir, you know what.

Sinn Féin councillor Michelle Gould is not happy with this.

She sits on the dog fouling committee and she's made her feelings known when she was on that committee.

She's not happy with the poster campaign.

She's not happy with the language.
