It should be on the front of the car, usually held in with two screws.

Simmilar to the rear.

Edit;
I think if you properly cant find it you'll have to phone shannon and ask for duplicate document usually costs about 12 buns.

You can surely get the car registration (Is that the car ownership thingy)? from your local council office for a minor fee and send it on to him. I just bought a car and am awaiting on mine as the dealer sent it off. I wouldn't sweat it too much. But that said I could be talking bollix. Im sure some posters in the trade will be all over me if I am wrong.

You can get it replaced by the council mate. Handing over the keys is a pretty strong signal of change of ownership. If there is a delay in the paperwork, most dealers wouldnt compromise their earnings for the sake of waiting a few weeks.
Call the guy in the morning and find out what he is willing to do.
Maybe after you find out how long it will take to replace the registration.

Relax. Breathe deep.

Order the replacement from Shannon and it will come in a few days.

Your dealer will be happy to take your bobs and your car and just tell him that you've lost the form - if you want give him a copy of your insurance which shows your name and address and car-reg (yes I know it's not an ownership doc but you're just trying to establish a connection to the car).

If he gets odd then say so long and thanks for the fish. Storm off and see what happens...

Garage will use an RF105 to transfer ownership to a dealer.

I'd normally ask the customer to complete the RF105 and to apply for the replacement VLC and send it to me when they get it.

Important thing for you is that you're sure the ownership is changed so that you're not liable for penalty points etc.

Hi All, thanks for all replies, got the car and traded mine in no problems, the garage informed me that now they can do it online, was suitably impressed.
