Councillor’s dress code and 20-song rule for buskers

A councillor who wants to regulate busking in Cork by introducing a dress code, a curfew, and a minimum 20-song rule has been branded a “killjoy”.

Fine Gael’s Cllr Joe O’Callaghan slated Cllr Kenneth O’Flynn’s (FF) proposed bylaws and said if introduced, they would strip the “life and spontaneity” from the city’s streets.

“The dress code could be applied to some of the councillors in here,” he jibed.
