View answerAs I have no function in relation to the provision or maintenance of market places, I have no plans to issue guidelines, directions or circular letters to local authorities in the matter.
Casual trading is regulated in the Dublin City Council area through bye-laws made under the Casual Trading Act 1995, an Act for which my colleague, the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, has primary responsibility.
