    Not too sure if you can get bus lessons in Tipperary at all, as you have to do a test in a city. I might be wrong on this, but that used to be the way it was. Jim o' Farrell in New Inn did it at one stage in Kilkenny city, but his son has taken over the business a few years ago, and I don't know if he does it anymore. Found this number for him : Colm O' Farrell New Inn Tel:052 31865

    If you have access to a bus I know John Maher in Clonmel does it also. His number is 086 1291392.

    Thing is, it's not just a case of doing a driving test anymore to get a bus/truck liecnce. You have to get a driver CPC along with it now. I know Maher can do that too, as his main business these days is running those driver CPC courses.

    Really? That's sh1tty deal by the sounds of things. I know that he's not in business anymore. I did a couple of courses with him when he was doing it and was registered with the RSA. Did you get anything from him to say you were there?
