Jury Duty - Wicklow v Dublin

Tizzard

Hello
I just got a jury summons forwarded to me in the post from an old Dublin address - to serve in Dublin . I have been living in Wicklow for 3.5 years now ( its a real pain for me to go in to Dublin travelwise/timewise/expense wise/getting back to work after wise... the list goes on...)Does anyone know if the fact that I live in Wicklow makes a difference -as in - should I really only be asked to go on a Wickow jury. Also I have booked a holiday and am flying out 2.5 weeks after the first date I have been asked to attend. Will that make a difference? I did try to get through to the office to ask these questions - to no avail. Thank you in advance.

Write to the County Registrar for Dublin explaining the situation and including any documentation proving where you live etc. They're not monsters about these things.

Why are you still on the register of electors in Dublin?

Good question. I didn't registar here straight away. Maybe only about a year ago.
