Talking lampposts have been installed in popular dog-walking areas in parts of Dublin.
They play pre-recorded messages, encouraging people to clean up after their dog and always carry waste bags.
The motion sensor devices are being trialed in areas including Ballyogan, Marlay Park, Killiney Hill, Glenageary and Seapoint.
The devices will be rotated throughout the county over the coming year.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council says the talking lampposts could help cut dog fouling by more than 80%.
