+# France fixed fine and Ireland driving limits, 23 October 2026
+
+Issues #21 and #22.
+
+## France
+
+Read on Légifrance. Article L3421-1, version in force 20 August 2026, punishes illicit use of a scheduled narcotic with one year and €3,750. The prosecution, including a repeat offence, can be extinguished by a fixed fine of €500, reduced to €400 and increased to €1,000. The article states no gram amount.
+
+Law 2026-798 of 18 August 2026 was published in the Journal officiel of 19 August 2026. Article 25 replaces the old €200 / €150 / €450 figures and adds article L3421-7(I): a court may suspend a driving licence, or a licence to operate a powered pleasure boat, for up to three years, for the offences in L3421-1 and L3421-6. The suspension cannot be limited to driving outside work and cannot be suspended. Article 28 rewrites Code de procédure pénale article 495-18: the reduced fine applies if paid to the officer at the time or within 15 days of the notice.
+
+The code page marks L3421-1 in force from 20 August 2026. The law text itself has no separate commencement article for article 25. Enforcement stays at 3. The procedure is still a fixed fine, with prison still available, so the higher amounts do not move a level on the scale. The history entry is an unscored tightening. The older “under 50 g” wording is removed from the current profile because L3421-1 does not set that figure.
+
+## Ireland
+
+Read from the enacted Road Traffic Act 2016, section 8. Section 4(1A) makes it an offence to drive with a scheduled drug at or above the scheduled concentration in blood within three hours, without a separate impairment finding. The Schedule sets 1 ng/ml of Δ9-THC and 5 ng/ml of 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-THC. Section 4(1B) disapplies that offence for those two drugs where the driver holds a medical exemption certificate in the prescribed form, signed by the prescribing doctor, stating that THC had been lawfully prescribed. S.I. 158/2017 prescribes that form.
+
+The Law Reform Commission revised Schedule still shows those two figures, annotated only as inserted on 13 April 2017. Section 4(1), read in the revised Act, remains the impairment offence. The Road Safety Authority page states the threshold ban as at least one year, or two years for a later offence, and the impairment ban as four years then six. The maximum it states is a €5,000 fine and six months. Scores and history are unchanged.
