What insurance companies are best for an Indian driving permit?

I have an international driving permit from India. I am planning to buy a small car. Please recommend the companies that can provide me car insurance.

Hi Rob,

I'm afraid there's nothing for it but to start ringing around and working your way through the websites of Irish insurers. There are no specific restrictions on drivers using international driving licences, but I think you can expect that your insurance costs will be significantly higher than if you had a full Irish licence.
