I propose to take Questions Nos. 343 to 349, inclusive, together

The Statutory provisions for these offences are outlined in Article 36 of the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations, 1997 as amended. (S.I. No. 182 of 1997).

Fixed charges apply to these offences. The fixed charge is €40 if paid within 28 days of receiving the fixed charge notice and €60 if paid within 56 days of receiving the notice.

The maximum fine applying to these offences, provided for under the Road Traffic Acts, following a Court conviction is currently €2,000, which is the general penalty that applies to the majority of offences under these Acts. The determination of the actual fine to be imposed in each particular case is a matter for the Courts.
