We are long overdue for a public ban on street preachers, workplace proselytising and proselytising in general in Ireland.

I write as one of the pastors at Church Central North, one of the churches in Birmingham.  We have members of our church involved specifically in Street Evangelism. I would want to first of all recognise the challenge that the Council faces.  Noise pollution especially when…
