About The Fine Clock
This site exists because Irish fixed charge notices are widely explained and rarely sourced. Every number here traces to a named provision of a named instrument, and where the source is unclear the page says that instead of guessing.
Sources
Where every number here comes from
Two places, and no others. Amounts come from the statutory instrument that sets them — S.I. No. 227 of 2024 — as published on the Irish Statute Book. Everything in the Acts, including the payment windows and the penalty point thresholds, comes from the consolidated Revised Acts published by the Law Reform Commission.
Nothing here is taken from a summary, a news article or another site. Where a public body publishes a restatement of the law, that restatement is not used as a source for a figure.
Two things this site does that most do not
It separates what is law from what is merely enacted. The consolidated Acts print some provisions twice — once as they stand, once as they would read if an amendment were commenced — and where the amendment never was, the second version is not law. 15 rows of the penalty points Schedule are excluded here for that reason, and several widely-quoted speed limits are not shown because the sections that would introduce them have not been commenced.
It says when the law is silent. Ireland's statute book states no speed measurement tolerance. That is written on the pages where a reader would look for one, rather than left as a gap they might fill from somewhere else.
Status
This site is not signed off, and says so
Every figure carries a research status. It has been read from the provision cited beside it on the Irish Statute Book or in the Law Reform Commission’s consolidation, and two limits follow from that: a rule changed recently may not be reflected here yet, and none of these figures has been through our final sign-off. The notice in the footer of every page says exactly those two, and for the amount that applies to you the cited provision — or the authority that issued the notice — is the answer. When the sign-off state changes, this page will say when and by whom.
