The Deputy is enquiring about three specified offences, one of which relates to display of an NCT disc and two relate to motor tax disc offences. Enforcement of offences under the new fixed charge system, which is in operation by local authority traffic wardens since 3 April 2006, is in respect of the range of offences that traffic wardens were familiar with.

I will give consideration, in due course, to the declaration of additional offences to be fixed charge offences enforceable by local authority traffic wardens. As the matter stands at present the three offences that the Deputy's question relates to are currently enforceable by the Garda Síochána.
