foreign reg car help

Sure a lot of people go on extended holidays or may have short term contracts abroad but does your insurance company know the details of your particular case? I.e. that you are living in Ireland. And how much does it cost to go back and forth to the UK ever 90 days?

firstly im an irish citizen, and my insurance company knows this and stated that once im not outside their state more than 90 days im covered, so i have this covered by driving back every three months id never drive without insurance.
yes i am trying to bend the law a little as road tax is extremely high on this car in ireland but considering what scams goes on in ireland.....
