    As far as I know a salvage certificate comes from when a car is written off by an insurance company. I think in the UK it's issued by the DVLA
    Depending on the level of damage it can in some cases be legally repaired and re-sold.
    In the UK they classify them as Catergory D (or CAT D) which is minor cosmetic stuff, to CAT C which has significant body damage to CAT B which is only fit to be used for parts and cannot legally be repaired and put back on the road.

    To get a log book in Ireland (or a vehicle ownership certificate as it's now called i think) you have to import the car into Ireland....see the Importing a car from abroad thread for info on this but you'd have to contact the DVLA in the UK if it's an english car which your post seems to suggest.
