Council looking at measures to restrict dogs on beaches during summer months

Wexford County Council say a proposed new beach byelaw will not ban dogs entirely.

In a council meeting last week, the idea of banning dogs from blue flag beaches in the county between 11am and 6pm was floated for the summer months and bank holidays. In a tweet in the last hour, the council say they get consistent complaints about uncontrolled dogs on the main beaches causing problems for other beach users. They say the draft byelaws will be made available for public consultation shortly.
