Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2021
183. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Transport if a person who lives six months in Ireland and six months in the UK each year and has businesses in both countries is required to transfer his or her UK driving licence for an Irish licence post Brexit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1477/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for a driving licence should be made in the country where a person has their “normal residence”.
The definition of “normal residence” means the place where a person usually lives, that is for at least 185 days in each year, because of personal and occupational ties, or, in the case of a person with no occupational ties, because of personal ties which show close links between that person and the place where he or she is living.
In this case, the individual would have to provide clarification as to where they reside for 185 days or more to enable the question to be answered.
