Dear Minister of State Heydon,
Many thanks for your recent correspondence in relation to exchanging Ukrainian driving licences for Irish driving licences.
Currently, Ukrainian driving licences are not recognised for driving in Ireland, nor does Ireland have a licence exchange agreement with Ukraine. However, Ireland has raised the matter at EU level with the Transport Directorate, DG Move, and other member states.
Ukrainian citizens entering Ireland under the Temporary Protection Directive (2001/55 EC) can apply for an Irish licence in the normal way, by obtaining a learner permit, sitting a practical test, etc.
People who have held a full Ukrainian licence for more than two years can avail of the shorter Essential Driver Training of 6 lessons, instead of the usual 12, and do not have to wait the minimum of 6 months before taking a driving test.
I hope this information is of assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Hildegarde Naughton TD
Minister of State for Transport
