PUBLIC NOTICE

I want to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to those I have had the privilege of allowing me to train them in various licence categories over the last 25 years.

Driver Training was a profession that I took very seriously and loved to see the satisfaction of people firstly learning a life skill on the roads, then progressing to test standard and passing the RSA national Driving Test.

As a lot of you know around the County outside of work and family life my Love and passion for Civil Defence for the last 30 years and the services it provides to local communities across the Country.

Tomorrow I change my career path to take up the position of Civil Defence Officer for Roscommon County Council something I am looking forward to in the years ahead.

To all of you that I came across I thank you for choosing Fergals Driver Training Services for Car, Truck , Bus and Trailer Training and I always appreciated your custom and business.

Fergal’s Driver Training Services will be winding down and closing for business over the next few weeks.

Finally to my loyal employee Liam Timmons for his loyalty, honesty and dedication to me and my customers.
You were more than just than an employee and part of the Conroy household for the last 23 years. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I look forward to our continued friendship in the years ahead.

Dear ADI,

In the event of a no-deal Brexit the driving licence of a UK licence holder living here in Ireland will not be recognised and the driver will not be able to continue to drive here in Ireland on that licence. The advice to such drivers is that they should exchange their UK driving licence for an Irish driving licence before the 29 March 2019, which is currently set as the withdrawal date of the UK from the EU.

Under current arrangements a UK licence holder resident here in Ireland has an entitlement to make such an exchange. In such a case the driver will have all valid licence categories on their driver licence included on the Irish licence. There are some limited exceptions where what are known as national licences categories cannot be transferred to the Irish licence. You may need to speak to the DVLA to find out if you have any national categories on your UK licence.

To exchange your licence you must complete a licence application form and present this, the correct fee and your UK licence at an NDLS centre. Exchanging your licence is not available online you will have to attend an NDLS centre - you will get more information on the process on www.ndls.ie

Kind regards,

Driver Education Section.
