asked the Minister for Justice if he is aware of the sale of cinema tickets for Sunday night performances in Dublin, at prices considerably in excess of the face value of the tickets; and if, in view of the bad impression which this practice must leave on the large number of visitors at this season, he will take steps to stop the street trading in these tickets.
