We are residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands, thinking of buying a vacation home in Ireland. Per Homeland Security, at least in the U.S.(we are part of U.S. as a territory), you cannot hold 2 driver licenses (licenses in 2 separate addresses). We're hitting a wall finding out if we can purchase/insure a car in Ireland without an Irish license - at least not for a sane price. Are there any of you out there who have a second home in Ireland with a car in Ireland? How did you do it - how did you get insurance on it? Any info appreciated as we will NOT purchase a home without knowing we can also have a car. WE've checked on long term car rental (we would hope to spend close to half the year there) and the price is completely prohibitive, particularly the rental company insurance! Thanks for any help!
