    Hello fellow Kehoe!

    I used a guy Tom McGrath a few months ago and found him very good. Passed first attempt in Little Island. Booked him thru ISM as far as I can recall.

    your best bet to get a quality driving instructor is to go on the RSA website, click link for ADI unit, as in approved driving instructor, then check the list of FULL PERMIT HOLDERS ,these people have gone through an intensive and hard series of tests to be accredited as RSA approved ,and you will receive first class instruction, as sadly at present there are a lot of people pretending to be highly qualified instructors and they are conning people and giving very poor tuition to learner drivers.

    all the contact details are on the adi section,and best of luck in your test:)

    i just passed my test on thursday morning and i have to admit i was a pretty careless driver, i learned a lot, the guy was sound, lessons were 40 euro but he covers all the test centres. His name is Alex and he is with the Irish School of Motoring!

    Hey,
    If you (are anyone else) are still looking.
    I really really recommend Frank Murphy. I have his number, if you're interested pm me.
    He is very calm, very patient and very good at preparing you not just for your test but to be a good driver. I passed first time with him, my girlfriend passed with him and I recommended him to two other friends who both found him to be great (one passed, the other yet to do the test).

    If he turns up to the lesson that is.I booked a few lessons with him and he didn't bother turning up or ringing to cancel:confused:. Definitely not recommended.
    Also, all 4 of your posts are recommending this guy....
