If I could add one point for the Minister's consideration, the last thing DCC wants to do is to have to enforce by removing outdoor furniture, for example, because the public will not necessarily know somebody had an opportunity to apply for the licence for free, was given several reminders and did not avail of it. DCC gets a bad enough rap for all sorts of things. Some of them are its fault and some are not. It is important the public know at this point in time businesses are being given the opportunity for outdoor furniture for free and, therefore, there is no reason somebody should not have a licence at this point in time.
