Talking lamp posts are set to be installed in Dublin city to warn dog owners to clean up after their pets.
It's part of a new litter management plan from Dublin city council.
Dog fouling was the single biggest issue raised during the public consultation on a new litter management plan making up a third of all submissions.
Now the council is proposing to use pre-recording messages reminding dog walkers to obey the law.
A similar system is already in place in Balbriggan.
The system costs 960 euro for three months per location.
The council is also planning a 12 week ad campaign in cinemas to highlight dog fouling.
Dog owners caught breaking the law face a fine of 150 euro however only 30 fines have been issued in Dublin so far this year.
