Question: Councillor M. Baker
“To ask the Manager to outline the licence fees for traders to place tables and chairs
and plant pots on the public footpath?”
Reply:
The annual license fee for street furniture is as follows:
Tables and Chairs
€50 per square metre and
€125 per table (includes accompanying chairs) per year
A sandwich or A-board is €50 per year (€150 for a 3 year licence)
A case, rack, shelf or other structure is €50 per year (€150 for a 3 year licence)
In recognising the contribution of local businesses to the character and visual
enhancement of the public space and street scape, it is the intention of the Council
that a licence fee of €50 will apply for all applicants for street furniture up to and
including no more than two tables and a seating provision for up to 4 persons. A fee
will be charged to businesses above this threshold recognising that their core
business activity is benefiting financially.
These fees are the same whether you are applying for a new licence or renewing an
existing licence.
