I propose to extend the fixed charge system that is provided in the Road Traffic Act 2002 from 3 April 2006 to a wide range of traffic and parking offences that are enforced by the Garda Síochána. The extension of the fixed charge system will also apply in respect of those offences that are currently enforced by traffic wardens under the fine-on-the spot system. The fine-on-the-spot system will be abolished on the introduction of the new system.

The roll-out of the fixed charge system will also entail the determination by me of the level of fixed charge to be applied to each offence and the prescription of the form of statutory notices to be used. I will be making the necessary sets of statutory regulations and commencement order shortly.
