I am informed by the Garda authorities that the notices will be served by ordinary post. Section 18 of the Road Traffic Act 2004 provides that in a prosecution for a fixed charge offence it shall be presumed until the contrary is shown that the relevant notice under that section has been served or caused to be served.
