The Road Safety Authority may bring and prosecute summary offences under the Road Transport Act, EU regulations and equivalent provisions.<\/p>\n
The Minister may, by order, specify legislation for the purpose of which transport officers may exercise their powers and the Road Safety Authority may bring prosecution.<\/p>\n
A member of an Garda Siochana may arrest the person who has committed offences under the legislation (domestic or EU). The member may require of such person his name and address, and if he gives a name and address outside the State, may require him to give an address within the State which is satisfactory and if such person fails to give his name or address or gives an address he believes to be false or misleading or fails to give an address within the state or there is doubt about whether it is satisfactory for the services for summons may arrest such person without warrant.<\/p>\n
An address may be unsatisfactory if it appears to the member that the person will not be at the address for a sufficiently long period for him to possibly be served with the summons or that some other person specified by the first-mentioned person will accept service.<\/p>\n
Where a person fails or refuses to give his name and address or gives a false or misleading name and address, he is guilty of an offence subject to summary conviction up to \u20ac625.<\/p>\n\n
