The Government has committed to allowing a grace period of a few months for motorists coming from the North if there is a no-deal Brexit and said they will not require special green cards. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar confirmed to the Dáil yesterday that drivers coming from the North would be exempt from needing to have the green card, which provides proof of cover. It is estimated that up to a million drivers on both sides of the border will need these special green forms. Mr Varadkar said no such promise of grace could be given to drivers going North — this is a decision for the British government. “There will be a grace period for people who are based in Northern Ireland and coming south and have insurance but not a green card.
