Speeding ticket from the Rep of Ireland
Discussion
Nothing happens if you ignore it but it will be outstanding, if you return to ireland and get stopped it could be a bit of a balls.
Otherwise if you pay the fine i think the points go on a ghost southern licence so they dont affect your current licence or insurance in england.
I'll await being corrected by someone more knowledgeable

Is the advice here still relevant in 2016?
If someone got an €80 fine in the mail from Garda and two points today (inconsiderate driving), is it best to mail the money as requested and leave it be.... Especially if they're likely to be driving across RoI again this year?
I understand the points don't travel across.
They were reported by a member of public. There were no Garda witnesses. There was no evidence at all and Garda reported that they were not speeding or overtaking illegally. I think it was the rozzer's mum who rang him as the overtake reportedly made her jump (....& the overtaken was on UK plates in the heart of their country?!). Garda stopped said overtaken 5 miles down the road. Garda came from the opposite direction. Is that how democracy works in ROI?
