    Hi folks,

    If a person living in Ireland is convicted, while on holiday in California, of their first time DUI do they need to declare it when they return to Ireland to either the garda or to any insurance company when they're looking to get insured? No previous trouble with the law in either the states or Ireland.

    Thanks,
    H.

    Certainly not the Gardai unless specifically asked in for example a vetting form "Have you been convicted of a criminal offence in this or another jurisdiction". Then you would answer yes.

    Re insurance it would depend on the terms of offer. So basically read the small print.

    Any declaration I have seen re convictions usually if not always excludes road traffic offences. In relation to insurance that is a different matter and any conviction or points should be notified to your insurance in my opinion. This issue is covered by the principle of upmost good faith.
