Thank you, Sir, for your protection. A festival lasting one to two weeks would happen in Roscommon town possibly once a year during August. An order must be obtained from the courts. Perhaps the courts differ elsewhere but in my area the judge is very strict and will lay down strict regulations regarding days and opening hours. Events must be arranged in a certain way. I am delighted the Minister is taking a reasonable approach to this aspect. He is striking the right balance.
