Бегом от СУПа - знавал я одного Кокошку в Чешских Будейовицах!

The law preventing begging has been struck down by the High Court.

A
young Dublin man charged with begging on Parliament Street in the city
more than three years ago challenged Section 3 of the nineteenth
century Vagrancy Act.

Niall Dillon claimed Section 3 of the act
breached his constitutional right to freedom of expression and his
right to communicate.

But
the judge found that the section was unconstitutional because it
interfered with the constitutional right of freedom of expression and
freedom to communicate with other people.

The legislation has been struck down and Mr Dillon's prosecution will not now go ahead.

Section
3 of the Vagrancy (Ireland) Act of 1847 provides that anyone begging or
placing himself in any public place, street, highway, court or passage
to beg or gather alms, commits an offence punishable by a maximum
sentence of one month in prison.

The act was introduced at the height of the Great Famine.
