    Why do the Gardaí bother issuing licences with such sort validity?

    They used to issue permits to get you through to the next licence period and save you a few bob. I'd say the reason they are issuing a licence instead now is to get you onto the system so that you can be included in the changeover.

    The possibility of some people getting left out get higher the closer we get to renewal time and the new forms aren't on stream yet.

    I'd say that's the reason as well, and I know if it were me I'd rather have a licence for a few days and have to pay for it rather than have to begin from scratch with the new forms.
