You can't.

That kind of information isn't in the public domain in this country, and unauthorised persons gaining access to it, is technically illegal.

That said, if you have a Garda mate they'll probably find out for you. If you want to report it for bad driving, or if it seems to be abandoned or whatever, ring the Gardai.

Were there Gardai at the scene of the accident? If not, that doesn't help your situation. Talk to your local Gardai, they'll give you advice on how to proceed, and what they can do for you.
