City busking bye-laws on hold until advice is sought on commencement date

Galway Bay fm newsroom – A decision on when controversial busking bye-laws will be introduced in the city is to be delayed further until legal advice is obtained. The bye-law was adopted in May without a commencement date and advice is being sought by officials before the regulations can be enacted. At a special meeting at City Hall, Fianna Fail councillor Peter Keane put forward a proposal to have the CEO sign a commencement order to implement the busking bye-law immediately. However CEO Brendan McGrath suggested the motion be put on hold until the December meeting while appropriate advice on the commencement date is sought.
