The NCT
is a National Car Test carried out on all cars in Ireland that are
over 4 years old. It is carried out every 2 years. From June 2011 - cars
over 10 years old will require an NCT test every year.
The NCT test
is more concerned with safety and gas emissions than with road worthiness.
Exhaust fumes are tested - as are headlight alignment, seat belts, tyres,
brakes, windscreen. The Vehicle
Registration/Licensing Certificate must be brought to the NCT test.
Any discrepancies will be notified to the owner/presenter and Vehicle
Registration Unit. Even if the vehicle passes all other aspects of the
test, a test certificate will not be issued until the discrepancies are
corrected. It is up
to the owner of a vehicle to ensure that their car has a valid NCT. Drivers
without an NCT certificate face a €1,500 fine, but, and from May 2009
drivers
will be issued with five penalty points when convicted of driving
faulty vehicles, driving vehicles without a certificate of road worthiness
and for failing to have an up-to-date NCT certificate. National

Tip: If you are moving to Ireland you should be able to keep your existing Credit Cards - just tell the providers that you are moving. You will need some way of paying it off - i.e a current internet bank account in the country you came from. This should not be a problem - it might be a good idea to get one set up before you move. It will be easier to pay off any old bills in your previous address. | ||||||
