The Taxi Regulation Bill 2012, as passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas, sets out clearly the offences under the Bill which are fixed payment offences and which are demerit offences.

Fixed payment offences are specified under Section 48 in the Bill and demerit offences are prescribed under Section 34 in the Bill. In addition, Section 35 in the Bill contains a table which shows the breakdown in the number of demerits that can be applied either upon payment of a fixed charge or payment in respect of a demerit offence or upon conviction of a demerit offence.
