Mr. John Condon:

We suggest that there should be a general prohibition so that if nothing is done, it is prohibited. However, individual local authorities could designate roads or streets on which they know such activity would be carried out, would be acceptable and perhaps necessary for things like the situation described. The individual local authorities would be better placed to decide on which roads in counties Tipperary or Mayo it should be allowed, rather than just having it decided at national level.
