Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 October 2006
255 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Transport the offences (details supplied), in so far as they relate to enforcement by a traffic warden, that have been commenced and in each case the statutory instrument that commenced them; if not, the reason therefor; and when he intends to proceed with the commencement. [33339/06]
View answerThe 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.
