Mr. Con O'Donohue:

Even for speeding, if it goes to court, it is five penalty points on conviction, but it is up to the court to decide what the monetary fine is. Similarly, with the offence the Deputy is referring to, it is up to the court to decide what the fine is, and it can vary from a very small to a very large fine. There is a fixed charge amount but once a prosecution takes place, there is a band in terms of the offence.
