Following a string of complaints, Abbeyleix GAA club have taken to social media to call out negligent dog owners for allowing their pups to foul the GAA grounds.
The club are appealing to local dog walkers that they do not open the gates into the playing pitches and ball wall to allow their dogs to wander freely and foul.
They have also asked that if there is no bin near, dog walkers bring their poo bags home with them.
"People don't seem to realise that when dogs are playing there, they could be fouling the grass, and kids are playing and being on tackled onto the ground, it's unsanitary," he said.
Mr Quinn has said that he has seen the video footage of people allowing their dogs to run free on the GAA grounds.
"It's a perennial issue, people just need to be reminded of it," said Mr Quinn.
"As a dog owner myself I know that it is very hard to find somewhere to let the dog off to run, but this is not the space. There's a creche nearby, with prams and little children going through the area. Wheelchair users could also get the dog litter caught in their wheels. It's unfair," Mr Quinn finished.
