Ireland · Fixed Charge Notice
Limerick City and County Council issues Fixed Charge Notices under the Road Traffic Act 1994. Beat It scans your FCN against 112 documented Irish appeal grounds — signage defects, wrong codes, procedural failures, exemptions — and drafts a representation in under 5 minutes. Free to scan. No win, no win-fee.
Limerick City and County Council can only enforce a parking restriction where the signage and lines comply with the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 (S.I. 182/1997). Faded markings, missing signs, obstructed view of a time-plate, or contradictory information at the location all invalidate the FCN.
Sometimes the FCN is wrong on the facts — the vehicle was not where the traffic warden recorded, the times on the ticket don't match the photo, the contravention code is mismatched, or you were actively loading/unloading and an exemption applies.
FCNs must be served correctly and contain all the statutory information required by Road Traffic Act 1994 §103. Wrong amount, missing reference, late service, or improper notification can each invalidate the notice.
Limerick City and County Council has discretion to cancel an FCN where there are exceptional circumstances — a medical emergency, vehicle breakdown, a disabled badge that fell off the dashboard, or a malfunctioning pay-and-display machine. A well-evidenced representation regularly succeeds before any District Court summons issues.
