Answer 1

There are many garages  that are selling U.K.reg cars and equally as many private individuals selling these cars on  grass verges and lay-bys etc. throughout Ireland, just by advertising with mobile numbers. However, if your dealer is not reputable or if you decide to place a car 'for sale' on the side of the M50 or N4, beware, the revenue service and the main dealerships have recently identified this problem or loophole and have issued statements in the main newspapers identifying the penalties in force if tax compliance etc. is not adhered to.

   My own view is, if a person can get a relatively cheaper and in most cases, better serviced vehicle from the U.K. then they should go for it, if the relevant paperwork is correct.The Gardai may sometimes be accused of overlooking these sort of indiscretions, but I am certain that if the Revenue see a way of accumulating more taxes then these sort of ventures will be vigorously pursued.

   Good luck in your new endeavour.

Answer 2

There's a man from Liverpool in Sligo Ireland who does this type of business. Sligo is a small busy town so it should be easy to find this person. That's all I can offer on that one.
