Demand DCC Photographic Evidence Pack (DCC)
DCC's contracted operator (DSPS) photographs the vehicle and the contravention. The standard appeal-portal practice is to attach those photos to any FCN dispute on request. Where the operator's photos do not show the alleged offence clearly (no visible sign, no double-yellow, no expired ticket, wrong plate), the FCN cannot survive scrutiny.
Legal basis
Burden of proof rests on the issuing authority; Dublin City Council Parking Control Bye-Laws 2024; standard rules of evidence in District Court.
How to identify this in your case
Any DCC FCN where the contravention is not obvious from the location, time or plate description on the notice.
