While the legal position in other jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, are matters for that jurisdiction and Irish authorities are not responsible for their decisions, I understand that the UK has indicated that it will continue to recognise EU driving licences after Brexit, which of course will include Irish licences.

Further information from the UK side is available on the government website www.gov.uk.
