I propose to take Questions Nos. 152 and 153 together.

Provisions in relation to event licences are contained in Part XVI of the Planning and Development Act 2000 and Part 16 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001. My Department does not hold information in relation to the number of event licences issued by local authorities.
