Other centres are located in Athlone, Ballina, Birr, Buncrana, Carlow, Carrick-on-Shannon, Castlebar, Cavan, Clifden, Clonmel, Cork, Donegal, Dundalk, Dungarvan, Ennis, Galway, Gorey, Kilkenny, Killarney, Kilrush, Letterkenny, Limerick, Longford, Loughrea, Mallow, Monaghan, Mullingar, Naas, Navan, Nenagh, Newcastle West, Portlaoise, Roscommon, Shannon, Skibbereen, Sligo, Thurles, Tipperary, Tralee, Tuam, Tullamore, Waterford, Wexford, and Wicklow.
As far as possible, your test will be arranged for the centre you nominate. You should note, however, that tests for Categories C, EC, EC1, D, ED and ED1 are conducted only at a limited number of centres in cities and large towns. Consequently, if you apply for one of those tests at a centre where it is not conducted, you will be given an appointment for the centre nearest to you where it is conducted. If you are applying for a test in Categories W (Tractor) or A1 and M (Small Motorcycles), you may request to have the test conducted at a town nearer to you than any of the above centres and every effort will be made to conduct your test in that town.
PROVISIONAL
LICENCE REQUIREMENTS
To undergo a Driving Test, you must hold
a Provisional Licence covering the
category in which you wish to be tested.
In certain circumstances, eligibility for
a Provisional Licence is conditional on
the Applicant already holding a full
Driving Licence for a smaller/lighter
vehicle. Consequently, before you apply
for the test, you should ensure that you
hold the correct Provisional Licence.
Eligibility for a third or subsequent
Provisional Licence for any category of
vehicle is dependent on you having
undergone a driving test within the
previous two years. If you have a doubt
about your eligibility for any
Provisional Licence, you should enquire
with your Local Motor Taxation Office.
FEE
Please note that your application must be
accompanied to each category of test.
These are set out hereunder AND ARE
NON-REFUNDABLE. Payment should be
made by postal order, money order or
cheque. These should be crossed and made
payable to the Minister for the
Environment. PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH
OR COINS.
