Could forcing dog owners to get their pets microchipped also help tackle dog fouling?
The suggestion was made during this week's House of Keys sitting where the second reading of the Dogs (Amendment) Bill was debated.
The new laws would see an end to the current licensing system - dog owners would instead have to get their pets chipped.
Garff MHK Martyn Perkins said if pets' details were available irresponsible dog owners could be tracked down via their dog's DNA:
Ramsey Remembrance service to be marked by maroon rockets
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
