The Lord Mayor of Dublin is welcoming the publication of new anti-begging laws.

They were enacted yesterday and will enable Gardaí to move on anyone begging near ATMs, night safes or shop entrances.

A person who begs in an aggressive, intimidating or threatening manner will also be guilty of an offence.

Lord Mayor Gerry Breen said it is a welcome development.
