    Yeah youll have to do your theory but its not that hard pretty much the same as the cage theory and since youve been driving for a while you should be fairly sensible, u can apply and pay for the test online think its 35euros and once youv passed youll get your license at the tax office, think the stuff you need is listed somewhere at the bottom of this page, http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/travel-and-recreation/motoring-1/driver-licensing/learner_driving_permits_for_motorcycles_in_ireland, prob best to brush up on the RSA's rules of the road to be safe.......

    if on your first car provisional licence you ticked the A or A1 licence box aswell then you probably wont need to sit anything. as it wont be your first bike provisional.

    if it is your very first Bike licence you need to submit an eye test as well as the theory test because your adding a class to your licence.

    i was planning to go through all this myself before i was told i had actually had 2 bike provisional licences and to get a new 3rd one i would need to apply for my bike test.

    No you don't, if you have a licence they have an eye test on record.

    im just informing what i was asked to do, i had a car licence for 2 years and when i called about getting what i thought was my first bike provisional i was told you need to submit another eye test because i was adding a category to my licence.

    if in the last month something has changed then all the better he'll save 20 quid on an eye test.
