Questions about market trading in Kildare
How many food markets are there in County Kildare?
1 established market in Kildare on this list: Naas Farmers 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 Kildare?

What do I need before trading at a Kildare 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.
