I would like information with regard to that, as to whether it applies to a person sending lorry loads of vegetables, or fish, or other goods, from any part of Ireland and dumping them in the streets of Dublin.
STREET TRADING BILL, 1925—REPORT STAGE.
The following Government amendment was put and agreed to:—
Section 1, line 31. After the word "Dublin" to insert the words "and includes any person in whom the powers and duties of that Council are for the time being vested."
Government amendment.
Section 3, sub-section (1), line 26. To delete the words "residing in the City of Dublin."
The purpose of the amendment is to remove restrictions on residents in the city of Dublin. As a condition for the granting of street traders' certificates, it was thought that such restriction might entail hardship on a number of persons presently engaged in street trading. We have ascertained that many of the traders reside outside the city boundary. When that fact came to my notice I thought it reasonable to remove the restriction.
Amendment put and agreed to.
The following Government amendments were put and agreed to:—
Section 4, sub-section (1), line 65. To delete the word "shall" and to substitute therefor the word "may."
Section 12, sub-section (1), line 8. After the word "right" to insert the words "or brought under the Markets and Fairs Clauses Act, 1847."
