In accordance with the provisions of the Road Traffic Acts, the Minister for Transport has declared a number of offences, including parking offences, as offences in respect of which fixed charge notices may be issued. I am informed by the Garda authorities that members of An Garda Síochána have the statutory authority to issue fixed charge notices for these offences.
