Driving Licences.
414 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Transport the action which must be taken to drive here by a person who holds a western Australia class C driving licence having previously held two provisional Irish licences; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25493/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraA temporary visitor to Ireland from Australia who holds an Australian driving licence or an international driving permit may drive here for the duration of the visit up to a maximum period of 12 months. Where a person who holds an Australian driving licence takes up residence in Ireland, he or she may exchange his or her licence for an Irish driving licence, without the need for a driving test. Application to exchange the licence is made to the local licensing authority.
