Haven't received Iarnrod Éireann fine in the post

I'm a second level student from Kildare, and on the 10th of March I was fined €138 on a Heuston Galway train for not having valid student id with me. I appealed, the inspector claimed that if they called my school and confirmed my attendance in secondary school, that I would be granted the appeal - but I haven't heard back and to be honest I'm not really expecting to hear anything back either!!

I've faced the facts that I was in the wrong, although as an under 18 I appealed for the fine to be reduced because I don't have that kind of money to dish out for a first time offence (I've been a regular Dublin bound commuter for around a year and a half on my leap card and have never had an issue before) - but thats another thread altogether I guess!!

Anyway, I have the small slip for the fixed penalty with me still, but I never received the fine in the post like the inspector said I would. At the time, he was very hesitant to write the fine (even though he did in the end) because he said he did understand my situation. I saw him write down my details and he definitely got them correct, but its been 2 weeks from tomorrow and I haven't received it yet. Does this mean it was never recorded and actually fined or is this normal? Obviously I know it'd be naive for me to think that the conductor wrote a fine and then didn't issue it, but I don't want to pay for this before being sure!! I've until next Tuesday - the 31st to pay the fine or be granted an appeal.

Sorry for the spiel. Hope someone can help!!

Thanks
