With reference to licence application fees, the intention is that there will be a one-off application fee of €1,000 in respect of an event being held mainly for profit or gain and €1,500 for a multiple licence for any number of similar events within a particular class in a year being held mainly for profit or gain. The fire authority will, however, have absolute discretion to refund all or part of the fee payable in respect of a particular application where it is satisfied that payment of the full fee would not be appropriate and explicit provision is made in the Bill for varying or waiving of the fee by the fire authority.
