Limerick — Wrong Municipal District Bye-Law Citation

Limerick parking bye-laws are a reserved function of three separate Municipal Districts: (a) Metropolitan District of Limerick (Limerick City Council (Parking Places) Bye-Laws 2006 + amendments 2008/2011/2020); (b) Newcastle West Municipal District (Abbeyfeale 2010, Newcastle West 2013 + 2020 amendments); (c) Cappamore-Kilmallock Municipal District (Kilmallock 2001 + 2020 amendment). An FCN that quotes a bye-law from the wrong Municipal District for the location of the alleged contravention 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.
