Aggressive Begging from a Public Order Perspective: Discussion

10:10 am

Mr. Adrian Cummins:

The Deputy described the woman and the child. We have come across examples of a woman and a child outside premises. As that is a social care issue, the advice to the business-owner is to inform social care straightaway that this is happening because they cannot have patrons coming in the door of their premises constantly being asked. However, when children are involved, it is automatically a social care issue and that is the first port of call. We would be delighted to get involved in any further discussion on improving the legislation.

What was the other question?
