92. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if the Office of Public Works may stipulate by-laws in relation to the control of dogs and littering on OPW properties and grounds: if so, the current status of such by-laws at OPW sites; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Office of Public Works (OPW) does not have the power to stipulate by-laws in relation to the control of dogs and littering on OPW property and grounds, except for the Phoenix Park. The OPW is currently working on a 'Code of Conduct for Dog Owners' with a view to encouraging responsible behaviour at our sites.
