HEADED ITEM No. 4

Proposed amendment of penalties for non compliance with the control of parking bye-laws Lucan 2004 and the control of parking Bye-laws Clondalkin Palmerstown Rathcoole Rathfarnham and Saggart

Following the introduction of fixed charge offences by the Minister of Transport Martin Cullen on the 3rd of April 2006 it is now proposed that the Control of Parking Bye Laws Lucan 2004 and the control of parking bye-laws Clondalkin, Palmerstown, Rathcoole, Rathfarnham and Saggart be amended to take account of this change. It is proposed that Schedule 1 be amended from:

‘Penalty for non-compliance with Bye-Law €19.00’

to read as follows:-

‘Penalty for non-compliance with Bye-Law to be a fixed charge of €40.00 if paid within a 28 day period commencing on the date of the fixed charge notice. The penalty due will be increased by 50% (€60) if paid within the 28 day period beginning on the expiration of the afore mentioned period.’

The making of bye-Laws is a reserved function of the Council and a report in these terms will be brought to the next Council meeting.
