can irish speeding tickets be enforced in the uk?

I got a speeding fine in the Irish Republic a couple of years ago. I paid up and later got a letter from the Gardai to say that 2 points would be added to an Irish licence if ever I took one out, but nothing would be added to me British Licence.

Watch out there are organisations that operate across the European Union that effectively buy fines from the issuing authorities and then pursue them through the civil courts in the individuals own countries, racking up enormous expenses which have to be paid by the person who committed the original offence.

Not if you're quick enough.

Any European (by which I mean member of the EU) state has the right to request that any other member state enforce a fine (or civil judgement) levied by a court of competent jurisdiction in any other member state. The court in the Irish Republic merely sends a request with the relevant details to the High Court (the one in the Strand) who determines whether the request is to be granted (it's an administraive process) and then sends the deatils to the local court of the person who's name and address is apparent from the documents. The local court then levies the fine (and enforces it) in the same way as if they imposed it. Whilst that option is open to them, it VERY rarely happens. Very, very occasionally the Garda or the PSNI will ask for substantial arrears of fines from multiple offenders (usually haulage companies) to be levied in the North or South respectively. Otherwise you're safe, unless you go back to the Republic with the same car and the Garda have reason to stop you. If they do, they will impound your car until the fine is paid, plus interest.
