All application forms must be accompanied by an accurate dimensioned drawing of the area to be licensed showing the proposed number of tables and chairs, the types of tables, chairs and removable barrier to be used together with all statutory services in the area and obstructions.
The Applicant must provide evidence of Employer’s and Public Liability Insurance cover for limits of not less than €13 million and €6.5 million respectively in respect of legal liability for bodily injury or third party property damage claims arising in connection with the activities, the subject of this application, for the duration of the licence period. These policies must be extended to indemnify Clare County Council. Clare County Council reserves the right to review this limit of indemnity for adequacy. The insurance policy shall be submitted with the application before the Licence will be issued. The licensee is required to maintain a valid policy for the duration of the licence period.
Completed Application Forms, Drawing(s), Insurance Declaration and Insurance Policy Details should be submitted directly to the Planning Authority, Clare County Council, New Road, Ennis, County Clare.
The Planning Authority, following consultation with the Area Engineer, Fire Services Department, An Garda Siochana and any other relevant agencies, will decide on the area where tables and chairs may be placed. As a general guide a minimum of 1.80m footpath clearance shall be required in front of the licenced area and in pedestrianised streets a continuous channel of at least 3 metres in width is required. This is to facilitate, for example, visually impaired persons and wheelchair users.
Business premises are not entitled to place tables, chairs, on the public footpath or street until a licence is granted. Successful applicants will be required to pay a Licence Fee of €125 per table and/or per bench/other seating structure not associated with a table. The area must be enclosed by a removable barrier (see (vi) below). A fee of €100 for the use of public space also applies per licence. All fees must be paid by the applicant at the time of issue of the Licence.
Where an application form includes the provision of a wind barrier with promotional emblem/logo/advertising on the structure, an annual charge of €630 applies.
Note: Any licence granted will only remain in effect for one year only.
The application form is available below.
