Gardaí urged to act against street traders and beggars

LOCAL people and visitors to tourist haven Killarney are being regularly pestered by ticket sellers, beggars and street vendors of goods such as flowers, hats and Chinese lamps, it was claimed yesterday.

Gardaí have been asked to take action and check the legality of sellers who flood into the town at weekends and during the busy tourist season.

“This practice should be stopped, as it is illegal and is causing a lot of concern to the people of the town,” said Independent Councillor Donal Grady, who raised the issue.
