Yes. Under section 47 of the State Airports (Shannon Group) Act 2014, a driver of a vehicle is obliged to remove a vehicle which is parked at an airport in contravention of a provision of airport by-laws if he or she has been requested to do so by an authorised officer. Section 47(4) sets out that it is an offence not to comply with the request of the authorised officer. The purpose of amendment No. 9 is to empower an authorised officer to affix a fixed payment notice to a vehicle where an alleged offence under section 47(4) has occurred and provide that a fixed payment notice can be affixed to a vehicle if the driver fails to remove the vehicle or departs from it, having been requested by the authorised officer to remove it.
The purpose of amendment No. 12 is to expand the Long Title of the Bill to include a reference to section 27A of the State Airports Act 2004 and is consequential on amendment No. 9.
