Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

Ireland has a driver licence exchange agreement with Saskatchewan, Canada. The place of issue of the licence will determine whether a licence can be exchanged. If a person has a valid Saskatchewan issued driver's licence, this can be exchanged for an Irish licence.
