Stand on street and hand out leaflets - legal?

conorcan2 · 2011-05-27 08:17:42

In order to promote a business I was thinking of standing on Grafton Street and handing out leaflets. Is this legal? Similarly, I was thinking of the Temple Bar area.

I think you need a licence to hand out your leaflets plus you can be fined for littering if any leaflets are found on the street.

Nightclubs in Letterkenny have been doing that for the past 3-4 years

Apparently I need to contact Dublin City Council, I can't find any related info on their website.

I dont think the problem is actually handing out the leaflets but if people take a leaflet and then just throw it on the ground you are liable for quite hefty fines for littering.

As a previous poster said, defo contact Dublin City Council
