Ukrainian refugees now eligible for temporary Irish driving licences

The new licence is valid for 12 months and will apply to cars only.

Ukrainians fleeing the war can now exchange their Ukrainian driving licence for an Irish driving licence, allowing them to legally drive on Irish roads.

Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan made the announcement today, after it was revealed earlier this week that increased public transport services were to be rolled out to support Ukrainians placed in more rural locations.
