💡
Book your appointment as soon as possible — ideally 2–3 months before your current IRP expires. Slots at Burgh Quay (Dublin) are extremely limited. If your IRP has already expired, your 12-week concession applies from the date of expiry provided you submitted a renewal application before it expired.
