A question posed to which I'm unsure of the answer...who can issue a fixed penalty notice, for an alleged offence that allegedly occured on private property...to which the property owner stated that permission to do so was neither sought or given ?? and which the property owner says is required ??
 
No genuine question posed to me...and I don't really know the answer...hoping someone might have ?
 
The UK Police issue Fixed Penalty Notices, The Gardai issue Fixed Charge Notices, Traffic Wardens are also permitted issue them for certain offences.

The Gardai & Wardens are entitled to issued FCNs for an offence on private property to which the public are admitted as set out in the Road Traffic & Local Authority (Traffic Wardens) Acts. You do something stupid in a private business's car park, you can be done for it, the property owner does not get a say.

Unless you decide to be a lot less cryptic, there's little more to be gained here.

This is permitted in Northern Ireland (and rest of UK) in relation to private car parks. Its a Parking Charge Notice (PCN).

If it remains unpaid and the same parking company notices your car, they can clamp it to enforce payment.

Not applicable to Republic of Ireland even if someone tries it.
 
Thank you also peemac, grateful for your assistance...
 
Plenty of private car parks in the Republic clamp cars and charge for their release.
 
Cars parked in disabled spots that shouldn’t be there, should be clamped
 
I disagree - they should be towed. Clamping keeps the car there, towing frees up the disabled spot.

Theres bad parking and theres parking in a disabled spot. The latter is just the absolute height of scummy behavior,
