Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Minister is saying that people will need permits in order to collect. This is the most important aspect of the Bill. People want to know that a collector, whether cash or non-cash, has a permit. If gardaí approach someone who does not have a permit, he or she must be taken off the streets straight away. If a collector is stopped by someone who asks to see the permit, the collector should not be allowed to collect cash or non-cash without a permit. I welcome that.
