Under Section 56 of the Road Traffic Act 1961, motor insurance is required to drive a mechanically propelled vehicle in a public place. Motor third party liability (MTPL) insurance is the minimum level of motor insurance needed in Ireland for mechanically propelled vehicles. This insurance covers an accident causing damage to property or injury to anybody other than the driver. All MTPL insurance policies are valid throughout the European Union for the full term of their cover.
