No, there's no requirement to outline the section, in fact Gardai are required to inform the person of the offence in "common language" which the person will understand. Also it's common knowledge that the penalty for speeding is a fine and penalty points. I do tell motorists of the fine and points, but that's just me.

I think you should challenge it; any judge in the land will be persuaded by your clarity of thought and expression.
