contact the phone number given and ask for the Garda name and station. Write to the Superintendent there with a copy of your disc and explain what happened or call in with the original and explain. I doubt it will proceed once you prove it actually was taxed but not displayed cos of the children messing with it.
This is completely unacceptable. Let it go to court. Your car was taxed. If the garda were doing there job properly they can check if a car is taxed or not from their online system.
This is a money making gimmick combined with lazy law red tape.
We had the same issue happened to is today. Did you manage to resolve this without paying a fine.I got a fine for not displaying of my road tax disc in the car - €60!
It seems that one of the kids was playing in the car and must have pulled it out and put it back in again, but the previous years was also in there, so the current one ended up behind it.
Is there any way out of this?
I have the disc, I can prove I have paid it, but is not actually displaying it an offence I can get out of?
I would imaging they took a photo of it, so no denying it really.
There is an email address I can contact them on, but want to get other opinions first.
Thanks!

@epopnomis the above is your best, and perhaps your only, bet.contact the phone number given and ask for the Garda name and station.

The Republic of Ireland ̶E̶i̶r̶e̶ still fining people for not have paper despite being taxed, insured or NCT'd.
2023 in Ireland, good grief.
Motorists continue to be a cash cow.
Can "parking wardens" actually ticket for no tax disc being displayed? I wouldn't have thought so. Isn't that the Gardaí's job?If a car is ticketed by a parking warden for not displaying one of the above documents - as required by law; has such a person the facility and the authorisation to look up such details online?

Maybe you mean a traffic warden?I don't know what a "parking warden" is. But if you mean a plain old parking warden without any apostrophes
They can and do, sometimes prolifically. Waterford city is notorious for it.Can "parking wardens" actually ticket for no tax disc being displayed? I wouldn't have thought so. Isn't that the Gardaí's job?
