    Yep, happened to me (about 3 years ago though!) was in a rental car and they got sent the summons , they said rather than go to court instead of paying the original parking fine of €19 I could pay €36 (I think) and thats it all settled.

    Was a bit annoyed at myself for not paying it in the 1st place and thinking I'd get away with it but at least it saved going to court!

    Cheers, I will scour throught the fine and see if I can find that. Wish I paid it too, I forgot about it!

    If you can find the original ticket, pay it and send the receipt and summons to the clerk-of-court with a note to say you had lost/forgotten it. When I lived in Dublin and got tickets I waited for the summons letter, then paid them as most of the time they don't turn into anything.
