Why have Irish points been applied to my husband's UK driving licence?
My husband (Irish citizen) is a UK resident, but has only just got a UK counterpart licence after having to obtain a digital tachograph card. Due to previously having an Irish driving licence, previous speeding offences just resulted in fines. Imagine his shock today when the UK counterpart arrived with three endorsements dating back to 2007 and 2008. He now has nine penalty points which are not due for expiry for quite some time. My question is whether the fines that were paid should now be reimbursed, given that the points have been issued, or is there any way of appealing, given as he never really thought his judgement day would come?

Why would the fines be re-imbursed? It's not points or fines. It's both. But if he is from Eire, I don't see how the points can be applied to a UK licence.
