Galway City Council votes to limit busking

Councillors voted by 12 to 6 in favour of the measures, which will come into effect at the beginning of next year.

Under the terms of the new Street Performance and Busking Bye-Laws, those in breach of the regulations will be liable for fixed charge penalties, starting at €75. Initial proposals to impose a decibel limit for street performances were deemed to be unenforceable. Fianna Fail’s Peter Keane, who proposed the measures, described them as "mild measures", which were not an attempt to quench busking.
