Questions about market trading in Kerry
How many food markets are there in County Kerry?
1 established market in Kerry on this list: Portmagee Indoor Market. This is a curated set of established markets rather than every casual or seasonal country market in the county.
Do I need a casual trading licence to sell at a market in Kerry?
Not for the markets listed here — they are privately operated or covered markets, arranged directly with the operator. You would only need a casual trading licence from Kerry County Council if you wanted a separate on-street pitch in a designated area.
What do I need before trading at a Kerry market?
Food business registration with the HSE Environmental Health Service on behalf of the FSAI, normally at least 28 days before trading; public liability insurance at €6.5m minimum; an RGI certificate for any LPG appliance; and a casual trading licence if the market is council-licensed.
