Casual trading laws welcomed by councillors, business owners in Kenmare

New rules for controlling street trading in a Co Kerry heritage town will attempt to rein in the sellers of everything from geansaí to goats cheese.

Market trading has steadily risen in Kenmare over the past 20 years, emerging as a colourful feature of the town.

However, local business have long complained over the apparent lack of regulation, claiming that trading was taking place outside their shop doors.
