Licencing
Throughout the year Mayo Fire Service receives notification of applications to the court for licences for various types. As a notice party to many types of licence applications Mayo Fire Authority is requested to carry out inspections of premises and to be represented at the licence hearing to state if it has any objection to the licence being granted.
For more information about the types of notifications the Fire Authority receives, and the notification periods required please download the Notification Requirements Table for Licensing.
