Citizen's Information just says "Car drivers with a learner permit must be accompanied at all times by, and be under the supervision of, someone with a current driving licence for a car. Also, the person accompanying you must have had the driving licence for at least two years." Doesn't specify that it has to be an Irish licence.

My mam is visiting next month, she has had a full UK licence for years. Can she accompany me?

Probably not, but would be nice if she could

Yes, any full EU licence held over 2 years is valid.

FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.
You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.
Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.
