Ireland
In the Republic of Ireland, traffic wardens are employed by councils to enforce laws relating to the parking and stopping of motor vehicles. They were introduced by the Local Authorities (Traffic Wardens) Act 1975. Under the Road Traffic Acts, traffic wardens are empowered to issue on the spot parking tickets and fines for non-display for a tax disk. It is an offence to refuse to provide your name and address when demanded to do so by a traffic warden.

“Out of Ireland have we come,
Great hatred, little room
Maimed us at the start.
I carry from my mother’s womb
A fanatic’s heart.”

Breed out of the contagion of the throng,
Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.”
