    any place where a new learner driver can download it for free rather than having to pay for it ?

    Also does anybody know how much does it cost to sit the theory test and whats else is required ? do i need eyesight and medical reports as well. ?

    seems like its gonna cost a fortune to learn to drive

    If you have an android phone or tablet you can download a good version for free on the play store, it has a test generator on it as well which is quite handy (using it at the moment for the motorcycle questions). Been a fairly long time since i sat the theory test but i believe nowadays its quite expensive, in the region of 70 euro ive heard, but dont quote me on that.

    The initial start up cost is bad, even more so now with the ridiculous 12 driving lessons scam, but its a great source of independence depending on where you live. Id advise getting a small engined car initially to limit the amount you pay in insurance, tax and petrol to help yourself out. And good luck :D

    Your local library should have a copy and possibly the DVD.

    Get the DVD, definitely worth it. Just keep doing questions over and over and eventually you'll be fine for the real theory test.

    There is a free Android app - Irish Driver Theory test http://www.apps.ie/app-list/companies/Android_App_Development_Ireland/apps/Irish_Driver_Theory_Test.html

    I used this before my theory test.
