Hi
This may be worth a try if you haven’t already
Ask the local Garda officer if they can email the Dublin head office for authorisation to process the application for your card swap. This will allow them to request a new card on your behalf without the need to apply online.
In the meantime write an email detailing what your issue is and what you’ve done this far to resolve it. Be sure to include your communication with the local Garda officer and the fact they too failed to apply online.
In certain circumstances (and very helpful Garda officer) they are able to sort it out providing you fulfil the terms of your permission.
I had a similar problem and the local Garda officer was able to apply as outlined above for the card once they got the go ahead from the head office.
