DCC Consider Law To Tackle Unwanted Buskers
Dublin City Council (DCC) are to consider introducing a new law to deal with public nuisance caused by buskers in the city centre.
It follows the failure of a voluntary code of practice introduced last summer.
A DCC report found that 185 street performers registered for the code, but a minority ignored it leading to a renewed increase in complaints.
The council report stated that quality street performers are welcome and add to the attractiveness and colour of the city.
The report pointed out that the council included street performers in the Tall Ships festival, New Year's Eve celebrations and plan to involve them in the newly regulated Smithfield Horse Fair in March.
However, the committee agreed that new regulations similar to those in force in Galway and other European cities is needed and has now asked the city manager for draft by-laws to be drawn up.
Fine Gael Cllr Gerry Breen, who helped introduce the original voluntary code, said the new laws should be "minimal" to stop poor quality music at untimely hours.
