Ukrainians can exchange driving licence for Irish one

Ukrainian arrivals will be allowed to exchange their driving licence for an Irish one, the Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has said.

This will "make it easier for them to move around and access work, school or other vital public services".

Minister Ryan said he had signed an order today that will allow Ukrainians temporarily resident (under the Temporary Protection Directive) in Ireland because of the conflict to drive their cars here if they exchange their Ukrainian driving licence for an Irish licence.

He added: "It operates much like renting a car if we are in another country, for example, and comes with the same warnings that users must be acutely aware of the rules of the road in that country.
