I am writing to formally request access to specific records under the Freedom of Information Act 2014. I am seeking information regarding the legal and regulatory framework applicable to Ukrainian citizens who have brought their own vehicles to Ireland. I would be grateful if you could provide access to the following records: 1. **Driving Licences:** * Any internal guidelines, circulars, or legislation outlining the validity of Ukrainian driving licences in Ireland. * Procedures and requirements for exchanging a Ukrainian driving licence for an Irish one. 2. **Vehicle Registration:** * Guidelines or legislation on temporary registration measures for Ukrainian vehicles. * Long-term registration requirements, including any tax implications or vehicle inspection procedures. 3. **Road Tax:** * Any exemptions or specific tax obligations for Ukrainian-registered vehicles. 4. **Insurance:** * The validity of Ukrainian insurance policies in Ireland. * Specific insurance requirements for Ukrainian vehicles. 5. **Penalty Points:** * The application of penalty points to Ukrainian drivers.
