Even if I management to get the matter sorted, from the replies here and my research it doesn't look good for my visa unfortunately. :/
I'm not saying this will definitely happen, but the US, Australia, Canada, the UK and a few EU countries do share/exchange criminal arrest/conviction/warrant data. I know at least one Canadian citizen who was denied entry into Australia because of a felony conviction in the US in which he received only probation and fines dating back to 1984.
Not getting this legal problem resolved may even harm your entry into Schengen countries in the future. (since Ireland and the UK are outside of Schengen.
