Can I drive a UK car in Ireland?

Hi.

My home is in Northern Ireland. I work in South of Ireland. Can I drive a UK-registered car?

Hi James,

Yes, you can. As long as your car is registered to your Northern Ireland address, and so is your insurance, all you need is a ‘Green Card’ from your insurer to extend the cover to the Republic.
