All companies underwriting motor insurance in Ireland must be members of the Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland (MIBI).

A motor insurance provider from abroad may operate in Ireland if the provider is a member of the MIBI. If a company underwriting motor insurance in Ireland is not a member of the MIBI, then no valid insurance is in place and the policy holder would be deemed to be driving without insurance.
