Mr. Ryan
A complaint of this nature was made to the Gardaí by Dublin Corporation in June, 1963, and the attention of the Force was directed thereto.
Since then, eleven persons have been prosecuted for offences against the Street Trading Act, 1926, and prosecutions have also been taken against two firms for aiding and abetting. Seven of these cases have not yet been disposed of.
