    2-3 weeks in my experience.

    however i think they can come through the door up to 6 months after the offence.

    Got flashed by camera on the N3, 110/100kph... 7 weeks later a nice photo of my reg plate arrived with an €80 fine.. 4 points now... Insurance company dont care as long as I dont go over 6 points...
    Maybe if there was a genuine move made to improve safety on our roads we'd be looking at fewer deaths rather than a nice revenue stream...

    Doesn't do any harm to ring them & see if you're reg is on the system awaiting processing; 01 6668500.

    I had to ring recently following a speeding violation, thankfully (for me) they didn't re-issue the points notice as requested & it has now been withdrawn. Sometimes it does really pay to hold up your hands & pray they mess up in the processing!

    I was told 2 weeks. took 3 months to receive in post and they were dated from when i recieved the post not when the offence occured. Very pissed off. I had even accepted responsibility and paid up on the day of the offence.

    Got caught in October, got points 5 months later.

    Got got in January, got points a month later.

    Both times stopped by cops who had been waiting in side roads with speed guns...

    Would the fixed/gatso ones be more automated and therefore quicker then if you were stopped and had to wait for a garda to do his paperwork i wonder? Seems to be a big margin from peoples experiences.

    Just because one doesn't hear anything doesn't mean that one has't been fined/has points pending. Just make sure that your car registration and licence address reflect your current address.
