Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 June 2024
13. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Transport if he will consider making changes to payment methods for those issued with speeding fines in Ireland but who live in a foreign country, including provision of an online payment option; if he will reassess the 56-day limit to allow for postage and potential errors on forms; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27429/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraCurrent payment options for Fixed Charge Notice (FCN) offences include payment by telephone, in person at a post office or by post. Online payment is available for FCNs that do not have penalty points, at www.anpost.com/Government-Services/Garda-Fines.
I understand that the Department of Justice is considering recommendations for FCN payment methods, including online options, as part of work to reduce the number of traffic offences going to court. My Department will introduce any regulatory amendments required in the implementation of such changes.
