The fixed charge amount for misusing an EU Parking Permit is €200. This increases to €300 if you do not pay within 28 days.

Traffic wardens and members of An Garda Síochána have the power to request and inspect an EU Parking Permit to ensure it is not being misused.

The Parking Permit must only be used by the person to whom it is issued. The vehicle on which it is displayed must be parked to facilitate access by the holder, whose name and photograph are displayed on the card. Any abuse / misuse will result in its immediate withdrawal. The above illegal parking penalties will also apply. In addition, those found guilty of fraud in relation to a parking permit (e.g. false declaration at the time of application, forgery of permits, the lending of a permit to another person) are liable on conviction to a maximum fine of €3,000 or a maximum term of 6 months imprisonment.

NOTE: Copying a permit, particularly, colour copies constitute an act of forgery. The EU Disabled Person’s Parking Permit is a legal permit and thus the law in relation to the fraudulent use of a permit applies
 
It is an offence to park a vehicle in an accessible parking bay unless you have a valid EU Parking Permit. If you illegally park in an accessible parking bay, you will get a parking fine of €150. This increases to €225 if not paid within 28 days.
