As Ireland is now my home, I would like to offer a warm welcome to anyone who is contemplating a trip.

This page contains information about driving rules and regulations to help ensure that you enjoy your stay.

In Ireland, as in the UK, traffic drives on the left. Read the 'driving on the left' tips if this is your first experience of being on the 'wrong' side.

For detailed information about Irish regulations see 'The Rules of the Road'. This is the official publication published by the Irish Department of the Environment and is available from virtually all of Ireland's bookstores and many newsagents.
