How do I get my C1 license back

You need to follow all the CPC requirements in this link https://www.rsa.ie/services/learner-drivers/get-qualified/cpc-driver---truck---c1#

There's always one. 🙄

Given the time lapse, I'm not sure if you can get it back. There have been various deadlines for getting 'grandfathered' entitlements marked up over the years, after which it's a case of tough ****.

When were you hoping to get the Cybertruck?

On a serious note, if it's just for a personal vehicle, you don't need to do the CPC, I got my C1 a few years ago without it.

It's not correct that C1 was awarded if you passed your B test before 1997 in Ireland. IIRC the cutoff year was 1989.

I did my B test post 89 and pre 97 and have never had C1 on mine.

I think 1997 was the cutoff for the UK giving extra categories but Ireland was 1989. as you did your test in 1986 and had the extra categories it's not as though the Irish authorities can use the date of your test as the reason not to give you back your C1. They probably have other reasons though.

I following this thread and just curious. Passed in 1996 Ireland. Only got the B and W And some form of chicken chaser aka motorcycle 50 cc or something. Should I have been entitled to for instance the e or c1 and e.

I think this is similar to something I asked them when I changed my uk licence to an ROI one (well I asked them years later).

I was told you have to appeal it within a certain time frame and you'd be awarded it, but I left it too long and the only way to get any category added to my ROI licence was to sit the relevant test.
