A Donegal GAA club are so fed up with dogs fouling their pitch that they have installed CCTV to catch them in the act.

Moville GAA Club say they are tired of dogs and their owners using their facilities as toilets.

With more than 200 people playing and training on the pitch, players were constantly stepping in the mess left behind by dogs.

Now the GAA club have decided to install cameras to catch the four legged offenders (and their owners!) in the act.

The club said they simply want to keep the facilities "clean and safe" for adults and children alike.

A spokesperson for the Inishowen club said "We’ve had a persistent issue with dog fouling on the pitch in recent weeks.

"And now we have resorted to CCTV to resolve it. So please be reminded that no dogs are permitted onto the pitch or Astro under ANY circumstances.

"With well over 200 people a week playing and training on the pitch we need to keep things clean and safe for everyone."
