A Braddan primary school is pleading with dog walkers to behave responsibly after a fouling incident.
Ballacottier Primary School on Clybane Road in Farmhill took to Facebook to make the impassioned plea on Friday.
In its social media post, the school says several pupils were left in tears after treading in dog muck which had been left in the playground.
It's now reminding those with pets not to use its grounds to exercise their dogs.
