Fast food on the street

[playwide]

Has anyone any info regarding the law and selling burgers,hotdogs, chips etc on Patrick street.
Or any street for that matter.

Is it allowed ?
Must you get a special permit ?

I thought i heard a story before about a guy who invested alot of mula in hotdog/burger stands but just before he was about to hit the street he wasnt allowed for some reason.

Any info would be great on this matter.

Seen a stall outside a butcher shop in Ballincolling on the Main street , Crualaois i think , they might set you right.

I say your best bet is to contact your local TD and ask him to enquire about obtaining a casual traders licence and where it allows you to operate. You'll need a cert from the health crowd as well before you can sell food.

We were in college at the time.
So money.

Id say the license would cost you a fine wallop of cash if you want to trade in the city centre.
