Mr. Adrian Cummins:

Where a business owner provides a seating area outside his or her premises where people can sit and have a drink or food and those people are approached every 15 to 20 minutes by a person with a cup looking for money, that in my opinion is aggressive begging. If as described by Deputy McGrath a person is sitting begging with a cup on front of him or her, that is passive begging. In a particular geographical location within the city centre in Dublin, there are people continually approaching people asking for money. If these people do not get money they act in an aggressive manner. That is my definition of aggressive begging. Others may define it differently.
