Jury Duty

ztoical

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I wasn't sure where else to ask.

I was away living in the states for four years, I was living at home and then in digs for college before I went and I was registered to vote in North Tipp were my parents lived. I came back to live in Dublin for a year then got a great job in kilkenny and been living there for the past 18 months. I registered to vote in Kilkenny [never got round to it in Dublin]. The person who moved into my flat in Dublin is a friend so he lets me know if any mail turns up at that address for me. He rang the other day to say there was a letter for me that looked official. I asked him to open and read it over the phone to me and it was s summons to jury duty.

I'm very confused as to why it was sent to that address, do they not summon people for jury duty off the voters list or do they use something else? Who should I be contacting to have the address changed? Also If I'm now living in Kilkenny would I still be expected to attend jury duty in dublin?

Make sure you send them a registered letter back to say you no longer live in Dublin. They will not expect you to serve it if you dont live in Dublin. I dont know where they get the lists from but I imagine it is voter records.
