    You can find your nearest approved IBT instructor here - http://www.rsa.ie/en/RSA/Learner-Drivers/Motorcyclists/Initial-basic-training-IBT-for-motorcyclists/Find-an-IBT-Instructor/

    At 16, you can go for the following

    AM (Previously known as “M”)
    Mopeds and 3 wheeled vehicles with a maximum design speed of 45km/h as well as light quadricycles
    A1 Motorcycles up to 125cc, with a power rating not more than 11kW with a power to weight ratio no greater than 0.1kW/kg

    Is it absolutely 100% required you do IBT? I plan on getting a CBF/CBR 125 once I get my licence

    You can't go on the road without doing your IBT

    Theory test, eye test, learner permit, then do IBT.

    Until that is all completed, you can't get on the road.

    Wait six months from the date of issue of your learner permit, then before you can do full test.

    Plenty of info on the RSA website.

    I did a lesson with Brendan Kelly before I did my test (no IBT then).

    A few of my family did lessons with him too. Definitely recommend him.

    I'm away from Sligo a few years now though so not sure he's still teaching.

    You'll confuse the lad wording things like that! You're allowed on the road with a learner permit and IBT.
