415. Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the permit required for those who wish to collect money for charity; and the entitlements and role given to collectors by the permit. [14696/13]
View answerAll public cash collections must be held in accordance with a collection permit granted in respect of that collection under the Street and House to House Collections Act 1962. Under the 1962 Act, a Chief Superintendent may attach to a collection permit granted by him such conditions in relation to the conduct of the collection authorised by the permit as are, in his opinion, necessary or desirable for the maintenance of public order and the prevention of annoyance to the public, including the occupants of houses visited by collectors.
