    They'll reissue it with the correct one if you try and challenge it in court.

    I heard aswell if you take a policemans hat they can't do anything to you...

    Don't bother trying to appeal it. They'll just reissue it.

    Don't bother. The judge will call yo up to the stand, ask your name, and proceed to take the piss out of you for trying to ge off on a technicality.
    They can make the correction while you stand there in the doc.
    It will not work.
    Sorry 'bout that.

    Possibly have a better chance of getting the case dismissed if they get the details exactly right, as that is a lot rarer than an error or two, the judge might want to get it framed.

    They know it doesn't really matter so some(many?) gardai make very little effort to get things right. Not very professional and notices go missing in the post as a result or at least can be claimed as having gone missing.
