They were curious, so stopped the driver to investigate.
Upon doing that, it was found that the driver had a UK Provisional licence - which is not valid in Ireland.
The car was seized.
The rules surrounding UK licenses are clear, as Citizens Information explain.
"If you hold a UK driving licence, you can drive in Ireland if you live in the UK and are visiting Ireland.
"You are no longer able to drive on your UK licence if you live in Ireland.
"You can still exchange it for an Irish licence provided the licence is valid or is not expired for more than 1 year."
