Limerick ticket cites the wrong district's parking rules

In Limerick, parking rules are set separately by three different Municipal Districts: the Metropolitan District of Limerick (covering Limerick city), Newcastle West Municipal District (covering Abbeyfeale and Newcastle West), and Cappamore-Kilmallock Municipal District (covering Kilmallock). Each district has its own set of bye-laws. If your ticket quotes bye-laws that belong to a different district than the one where you were actually parked, the ticket is defective.

Legal basis

Roads Act 1993 s.36 (bye-law making power); Local Government Act 2001 (Municipal District structure); the named Limerick District bye-laws.

How to identify this in your case

Cross-reference the location of the FCN against the District. E.g. an FCN issued in Kilmallock that cites the Limerick City 2006 Bye-Laws is mismatched.
