Can I buy and drive a car in Ireland with my Indian driving license
Our answer:
Hi Alex,
Anyone can buy a car, with or without a licence. In terms of legally driving it, you have 12 months from the date of entry to Ireland during which time you can use your existing Indian licence. After that you will have to get an Irish licence.
