Travelling to Ireland

Hi all,

I'll be spending Christmas in Ireland this year (Republic).

I passed my driving test in September of this year and currently drive with a P Plate stuck to the back of the car. I know in Ireland it is the law to drive with an N Plate for 2 years after passing your test. Does this mean that I will have to purchase an N Plate for when I am in Ireland, or am I ok to continue driving with my P Plate, seeing as the car is registered within the U.K.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
