5 court summons

Once you can prove that you back taxed the acr, you'll be fine.

Each of the guards names should be on each of the summonses - just approach each one on teh morning of the court - make sure you have all your paperwork - and they may just strike it out - other than that, explain to the judge that you were waiting on the new regictration cert for your car and once you received it, that you back taxed your car staright away.

It will in all liklihood be struck out - assuming the judge isn't in foul form
 
Agree with most of the above advice, especially re magistrates who haven't been in ROI since 1922. We have District Judges.

Re contacting five gardai on morning of court - this can be difficult. In most District Courts, especially outside Dublin a Superintendet or Inspector will deal with all the Garda prosecutions. He or she is the best person to contact.
 
your judginess,your magistiness your honour,sir,what does one call em?

Judge. According to [broken link removed], Your Honour was done away with about 3 years ago, though I'm sure many people still use it out of habit.
 
hey troubled , there are several ways to serve a summons namely registered post, by hand to parents , place of work etc.
however can you clarify where you heard there was four more coming ? if you paid a fine then you received a fine in the post then failed to pay hence court, the other way is the garda can issue a summons , if you have any questions in this area ill be glad to answer.
you can not loose your licence nor receive points or effect insurance as tax is a revenue based fine. no ancillary, mandatory or consequential orders can be made on your license
