That's still the law as far as I know. Looks like you're in luck.

As far as I recall, they only have to have the summons signed by the local District Court Clerk within that six month time-frame. i.e. once its signed by then, they could send it out to you at a later date. I'm not sure if this has changed recently though.

From what I know there is 6 months but the garda can always apply and get it extended for another 6 months

Yes hopefully, I saw some people saying it could take up to a year, but on
the citizen advice site it says that it takes 6 months.
?? If it still is the law I'm lucky, this has been on my mind for ages now.

It's a hard one to call these days with all the laws changing. Hopefully the law is still the same, I do know a lad that was caught drink-driving and received the summons within 2 months of it happening, I received the lab documents about having no drink in my system and the one for the drugs but never got a summons , it's 8 months now since it happened.
