I have been in Ireland as a student and currently hold a visa as a Stamp 1G. My total time has been nearly 3 years. My future father in law was told by the RSA that I can drive with my Canadian licence without an accompanying driver as the 12 month period is of when the insurance for my vehicle started. I and my fiance were told that the learner permit now takes precedence. If the learner permit does take precedence, why allow you to keep your other licence? Even for driving in the EU I do not understand as if I have an Irish licence, would that not take precedence in Europe? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
