A Fixed Charge Offence Notice, also called a "Parking Fine", is a fine levied throughout Ireland when a traffic warden determines careless or illegal parking (or other offences) has taken place and may be causing obstructions for motorists, road users, pedestrians and businesses.
Waterford City & County Council employ traffic wardens to enforce the parking regulations and issue fines. Members of An Garda Síochána also have this authority. The Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations, 1997 - 2013 provide for the general regulation and control of traffic, pedestrians and parking.
From a Health & Safety perspective, to reduce the risk of violence/agression towards Traffic Wardens, they wear a Body Worn camera as part of their uniform. The policy covering operation of these cameras can be found here.
