The Deputy will appreciate that I have no direct role in the administration of fixed charge notices issued for road traffic offences which is an operational matter for An Garda Síochána. I understand, however, that where the registered owner of a vehicle was not driving the vehicle at the time of the alleged road traffic offence, that person must complete the 'Nomination of Name and Address of Driver of Vehicle' section of the fixed charge notice within 28 days of the date of the notice. I further understand that nominations sent after 28 days cannot be processed and that the fixed charge notice remains the responsibility of the registered owner.
