Can I use an Indian licence in Ireland?

Hi, I am currently residing in Dublin with a graduate visa. Its been over 12 months since I moved to Ireland. Will I be able to use my Indian driving license to rent and drive a car? Will acquiring an IDP help?

Our answer:

Hi Saakshi,

I'm afraid not. The Indian licence is valid in Ireland for 12 months after the first date of arrival only.
