Casual Trading Bye-laws have been adopted by the Council and casual trading areas have been designated at the following locations in the County:- Killybegs and Ballyshannon. Bye-laws were also adopted in Bundoran, Buncrana and Letterkenny and these laws will continue to apply until such time as new bye laws are adopted.
Casual trading can only take place at the locations, specified in the relevant Bye laws, and the Council regulates the use of these areas by way of licence.
