"I've witnessed elderly people being intimidated at ATMs," Cllr Fintan Phelan has said.
He raised the issue at this month's meeting of Carlow County Council as members discussed Bye-Laws they enacted in 2018 to tackle the "professional and aggressive begging" that has become a regular feature in the town.
Cllr Phelan said he had witnessed elderly people being intimidated by aggressive beggars in Carlow Town.
In response, Cllr Adrienne Wallace said: "That's by gangs."
