Thinking of renting a car in Ireland? Here’s everything you need to know.

You’re planning your dream trip to Ireland. You’re considering renting a car to take you off the beaten path. Below are 20 tips and tricks you’ll need to know before hiring a car.

Driving in Ireland is different from driving in your home country. Ireland has its own traffic rules and customs. Make sure to check out the Road Safety Authority website for more info.

NB: if you’re looking for real, authentic, Irish experiences in Cork city, check out our website RebelCityTours.com. We help free & independent travellers create memorable experiences!

Our 20 Tips and Tricks for renting a car in Ireland…

  1. Irish garages or petrol stations (gas stations) sell both diesel and petrol fuel. If you have a diesel car – use diesel only. If you have a petrol car – only use petrol. To do otherwise will mean destroying your car’s engine.

  2. We drive on the left in Ireland. A great tip to remember this…roll up your sleeve and ensure you’re wearing your watch on your left wrist.

  3. Your US driving license is valid in Ireland. Always carry it while driving. You don’t need an international license unless you plan on driving on continental Europe.

  4. By law, all children under 150cm in height or under 36kg in weight must use the correct child seat or booster when travelling in a car or goods vehicle. This usually means your child will need to be in a car seat until they are around 12 years old.

  5. Irish roads can be very narrow in places. Spend a little extra to get proper insurance. Don’t get caught out. Try to purchase Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) protection.

  6. If you’ve never driven a manual gear shift car before. Book a car with automatic transmission beforehand. Expect to pay extra, unfortunately. If you burn through the clutch of a vehicle with a manual transmission by driving it like an automatic, expect to pay at least $1,500 to replace the clutch. This will not be covered by your insurance, plus you’ll need a replacement vehicle.

  7. The age at which you can rent a car varies from company to company. Check beforehand.

  8. Some of Ireland’s motorways (highways) are tolled. Carry change with you when you drive, e.g. euro coins.

  9. Inspect your rental car for damage beforehand. Take timestamped photos with your phone. Don’t get caught for damage you didn’t cause.

  10. You don’t need the hassle of a car in Dublin. Rent a car while leaving the city.

  11. Dial 112 in an emergency (similar to dialing 911 in the US).

  12. Try to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges.

  13. Drink-driving is not tolerated in Ireland. Doesn’t matter what you may have heard. Don’t drink and drive!

  14. Learn how to drive on roundabouts before arriving. This YouTube Video will help.

  15. Use Google Maps to find your way. Remember, you’ll need a postal/zip code (eircode, as we call them). You can find your destination’s eircode here.

  16. Ensure you have a spare tire and jack in your trunk (the ‘boot’). Some car rental companies remove them.

  17. Don’t rely on your credit card company’s international motor insurance cover to cover you in Ireland. Check with your car rental company and your credit card company beforehand.

  18. Dublin’s M50 highway (motorway) has electronic camera-operated tolls. Pay online beforehand here.

  19. Northern Ireland is a separate country. Travelling to the North? Do you have insurance and a rental agreement that covers this leg of your journey?

  20. When exiting onto the main road. Be cautious. Move out slowly. Check both directions to be sure.

Paying for your rental car

If you choose to go with a third-party insurance provider and your car rental company accepts this. Then there is a great possibility they’ll put a hold on your credit card for thousands of dollars anyway. Just in case your third-party cover doesn’t cover your possible damages.

Generally, we’d advise you to go for Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) protection. This isn’t an area you should skimp on. And if you’ve been paying attention to this article, and you don’t rent a car from Dublin Aiport or a mega-brand and you choose one of the recommended car hire companies below.

Then you should have money left over to easily cover Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) protection.

Best Deals for car rentals in Ireland

Here are a few options you should consider when hiring your car in Ireland.

We’ve heard good things about GoCar.ie Ireland’s number 1 car-sharing company. If you find yourself in an urban area and wish to rent a car to visit the beach or an attraction you’d like to see. And you are fine with returning your car to your point of departure, then GoCar is a great option.

Final Advice on renting a car in Ireland

The most important thing to remember is that driving in the country differs from driving in the US. In Ireland, we drive on the left; the roads can be narrow and even dangerous in places – if you’re not careful.

Secret Cork city: Experience the city as locals do.

Secret Cork city experiences:

Looking for secret cork history, stories and legends? Things only a local would know?

Well you’ve come to right place. We have authentic secret Cork stories about everything from dissecting bodies and the local University’s rugby insignia. To Cork city’s rebel past in the fight against the British empire.

Rebel City Tour of Cork GUI by Hahamarketing.com
Rebel City Tour of Cork,

1. Secret Cork city’s rebel past.

Little would you know, from walking through Cork city today. That 100 years ago, Cork was at the centre of a military conflict that was fought by hit and run tactics and ambushes on one side. And looting, burning and reprisals on the other.

During the Irish war of independence. A war was fought between Ireland and it’s next door neighbour from 1919 to 1921.

A truce was eventually signed. Which gave birth to the Irish nation.

If you’d like to hear more about the assassinations, bomb factories and killings. Make sure to check out out the rebel city tour of Cork when you get to the city.

Make sure to book ahead. Since places are first-come-first-served!

The four-faced liar. St. Anne’s church.

2. Hidden Cork: The four-faced liar on the North side.

Known to locals as the four-faced liar because it’s North/South clock faces used to tell a different time than the clocks East/West faces. The St. Anne’s church on the north side of the city. Is as famous for it’s clock as it is for the goldie fish weather vane which sits a top the church steeple.

Here’s a story that tells you a little about a North/South historical divide in Cork city.

Northsiders, known as norries. Have often remarked that since the minute hands on the East/West faces of the clock still always precede the North/South minute hands in the ascent from the half hour to the hour. Catching up again when they reach the full hour.

This signifies the fact that the southsiders, known as sorries. Have always been that bit slower than the norries. But they do catch up eventually.

The Quad in UCC.

3. University College Cork’s myths and legends.

University College Cork (UCC) legend. Anyone student who crosses the quad. Or square section of grass at the heart of the campus. Will fail their next exams.

Probably thought up by some jealous grounds keeper that wanted to keep students off the grass.

Also, it just so happens that the medical campus on UCC is adjacent to the site of an old gaol. And unclaimed bodies from the gaol were sent to the medical campus to be dissected and studied. In bags marked with the skull and crossbones.

Today, UCC’s rugby team plays with the skull and cross bones insignia on their shirts.

Secret Cork: The Elizabeth Fort

4. A Cork city secret: The founding mothers of modern day Australia.

Did you know that female convicts, imprisoned in the Elizabeth fort near the city centre. Went on to become known as the founding mothers of modern day australia?

The story goes, that female convicts in the prison. Were sent to Australia for their, very minor, crimes by the government of the time.

After serving their sentences. They were released. Without the funds to secure passage back to Ireland. The newly-released women settled in Oz. Married. And bore children.

Later becoming known as the founding mothers of modern day Australia.

Goldie Angel – St. Fin barre’s Cathedral

5. The goldie angel and the end of the world.

Most locals know of this legend. The famous St. Fin barre’s Cathedral near the city centre of Cork city. Is one of Cork’s most famous attractions.

Best known for the gold-plated angel blowing her trumpet erected towards the rear of the Cathedral. It is said locally, that when the goldie angel blows her trumpet. It will signify to the citizens of Cork that the world is ending. Helping Corkonians be among the first to enter the gates of heaven.

Possibly, on a mission to save the world. Or possibly after having a few in a local watering hole. Some local superhero, read: brazen thief, climbed the cathedral in 1998 and stole the goldie angel’s trumpets from the statue over 100 feet from the ground.

They were later found in the grounds of a Catholic church on the other side of the city.

Brennan Torpedo Rebel City Tour
The Brennan Torpedo

6. The Brennan Torpedo Was First Trialed In Cork harbour.

The Brennan torpedo. Otherwise known as the world’s first practical guided missile was first tested in Cork harbour around 1877.

Brennan, an Irish-born, Australian inventor. Patented the torpedo and later sold it to the British War Office for £100,000.

This idea was trialled at Camden Fort Meagher at Crosshaven on Cork harbour.

A change will be subject to an administration charge of €0 plus any costs we incur in making the change for you.

    1. We want you to enjoy a perfect holiday with Rebel City Tour. We shall do our best to make this experience special for you. Nonetheless, we must make clear the limitations in law.
    2. If we fail to provide the Holiday set out on our website or in our brochure and to which these terms apply, we will pay you appropriate compensation.
    3. We are not liable if any failure is due to:
      1. your own carelessness or negligence in any aspect of your behaviour whilst on Holiday;
      2. laws, culture and standards of service and behaviour in any country we may visit;
      3. changes we reasonably make to an itinerary or to accommodation or any other aspect of the management of your booking;
      4. some third party unconnected with the provision of travel arrangements where we could not reasonably have foreseen or avoided those circumstances;
      5. any other unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control;
      6. a specific event or series of events which we or our contractors or providers could not reasonably have foreseen or prevented;
    4. We and you are subject to international conventions, when they apply. This may limit the amount of a claim you may make, against us or anyone else.

If you choose to buy other goods or services during your Holiday, those are not part of our service, even if our representative helps you to buy or arrange them. Accordingly we are not liable to you for any happening in connection with that service or goods.
    6. It is a condition of this contract that you take out a policy of travel insurance for every trip outside Ireland. You alone are wholly responsible for arranging your insurance. The period of cover should start no later than the date you make your booking with us.
  3. Passport, visa and immigration requirements

It is extremely important that you obtain and carefully check travel and immigration documents required for each country you visit. You alone are responsible for obtaining required travel documents for your party. We do not accept responsibility for any delay or problem which may occur in this connection. If we have local representation at the time of any such problem, we will assist you as far as reasonably possible to resolve it. However, for the benefit of other people on that holiday, it will not be possible to delay or change travel arrangements or events which will affect others in the tour group.

  1. Help we need from you

Your information pack will provide details about your chosen Holiday, but the following are contractual matters:

  1. Most Rebel City Tour Holidays require reasonable physical fitness and appropriate footwear. You should be prepared to walk up to a couple of miles a day, sometimes on uneven or slippery surfaces.
  2. To satisfy the majority of our clients, we apply “no smoking” rules in the same way that they are applied by law in Ireland. Please note however, that smoking is permitted in some countries we may visit so we cannot prevent third parties from smoking in a bar or restaurant.
  3. If we provide medical help to you, whether or not you specifically ask for it, we will provide receipts for all costs (for your insurer) and you now agree to repay us that cost on your return from the Holiday.
  4. If at any time, it is our opinion (given by any of our staff or representative) that you are acting in a way which may cause accident, injury, discomfort or extreme displeasure to any other member, we may exclude you from the programme for the remainder of the Holiday. You will understand that this extreme action will not be taken lightly but may be necessary to protect the health, safety or enjoyment of other travellers.
  5. Terms and conditions of third party providers

Many of the services we provide, including options which may occur from time to time during your Holiday, are provided by third parties and not directly by us. Each has their own terms and conditions. Whilst the law provides that we are liable to you in the round, for any failure connected with such a provider, our obligations do not cover every contractual term.

Accordingly, instances may arise where you have no redress, for example, in the purchase of locally produced goods. If our representative warns you of a possible problem, for example related to food, and you choose not to take that advice, then we are not liable for any problem which may arise.

We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by telling us. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our services further.

Information we process because we have a legal obligation

Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.

For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.

This may include your personal information.

  1. Specific uses of information you provide to us

Booking and pre-booking enquiries

We use your personal information to arrange, process and confirm your booking and to answer any pre-booking enquiry you may have. While making your travel arrangements we will need to disclose personal data to the suppliers of the services which are part of your booking.

Communicating with you

When you contact us, whether by telephone or by e-mail, we collect the data you have given to us in order to reply with the information you need.

We record your request and our reply in order to increase the efficiency of our business.

We keep personally identifiable information associated with your message, such as your name and email address so as to be able to track our communications with you at a later time.

Dealing with complaints

When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us.

We use that information to resolve your complaint.

If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give information, and if we do, what that information is.

If we think your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we shall not correspond with you about it.

We may compile statistics from information relating to complaints to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.

  1. Management of your information

Access to your personal information

At any time you may review or update personally identifiable information that we hold about you.

To obtain a copy of the information we hold about you, please contact us info@rebelcitytour.com.

After receiving the request, we will tell you when we expect to provide you with the information, and whether we require any fee for providing it to you.

Removal of information

If you wish us to remove personally identifiable information from our record, you should contact us at info@rebelcitytour.com.

If you do so we have no alternative than to treat your request as notice to terminate this contract. If that happens, termination will accord with the provisions in this contract.

All provisions in this contract relating to termination, express and implied, will follow.

Verification of your identity

When we receive any request to access, edit or delete personal identifiable information we shall first take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or otherwise taking any action. This is important to safeguard your information.

  1. Post termination
  1. Physical goods of yours, which we necessarily hold as part of our contractual relationship are not personal data and are not affected by the Act.
  2. Upon termination of our agreement with you, we and any contractual data processor will:
    1. delete all your personal data from our electronic records by some method which prevents future re-activation of that data.
  3. We shall not destroy or delete all your data and retain such personal data for six years, for these reasons:
    1. for accounting and taxation purposes;
    2. to provide evidence if required in connection with a legal claim;
    3. for any other reason where the law provides a six years limitation period;
  4. If any event occurs which requires us lawfully to continue to retain data beyond that period, then we may do so.

Explanatory notes:

Tour operator: terms and conditions

General notes

  1. This is a comprehensive template suitable for a wide range of tour operators. The range of tour and holiday operations is vast. As a result, we do not promise that this template will cover the clothes you need for the Namibian desert or the food you will have to eat while you watch seals in Hudson’s Bay.
  2. About European Union (Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements) Regulations 2019 (the “Regulations”)

A package holiday comprises of a combination of different types of travel services. Tour operators offer all kinds of such combinations to travellers. The European Union (Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements) Regulations 2019 implements the EU Directive (EU) 2015/2302 in Ireland. The Regulations amend the Package Holidays and Travel Trade Act 1995 and is designed to protect the traveller from the moment he approaches the tour operator to enquire about the holiday packages to until after he returns from the holiday. To read about your responsibility as a tour operator, please go to the links below:

https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/consumer_affairs/travel/package_holidays.html

  1. What you need to do to comply with the Regulations

The Regulations require that you must provide travellers with specific information before selling them a package. This information includes (but is not limited to):

  • the main characteristics of the package;
  • total price of the package;
  • name and details of the organiser; and
  • information on their cancellation policy.

We have drawn this agreement so far as applicable to include key information. You should edit these terms to include all information that will be part of your holiday package.

  1. What to give the traveller

When you have edited this document you will send it to your proposed client.

In addition, the law requires you to give him the “standard information forms” that intend to make travellers aware of the key protections they are being provided when buying a package holiday.

These standard information forms vary depending on how the package is sold.

The standard information forms are set out in the Schedules of the Regulations:

  1. Schedule 1 (Part A) – standard information form where you are able to use hyperlinks (e.g. you are selling on a website).
  2. Schedule 1 (Part B) – standard information form to be used when hyperlinks are not available or the package travel contract is to be concluded by telephone.

http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2019/si/105/made/en/print

There is no set procedure or format as to how you should provide it to the traveller. This is for you to decide. It could be in hard copy, soft format or through email.

Paragraph specific notes

Notes numbering refers to paragraph numbers.

  1. Definitions

You should first decide on the contents of the document, then return to check what definitions are needed and whether they really fit the text you have left in place.

We have used general terms “Holiday Services”. By all means edit these definitions to an expression and description which more precisely covers the scope of what travel services and arrangements you offer.

By all means use the find/replace function in your word processor to change them. If you do change a defined term, make sure it applies to every use of it in the document.

Remember too, that when a word or phrase is defined, the defined meaning capitalised, takes precedence over the common meaning of that word or phrase.

  1. The contract between us

This paragraph forms the basis of your agreement. It is always an important point of contract law to be specific about when the contract comes into existence. Both sides need to know when they are bound by it. It is particularly important in the travel industry because it must tie in with your statutory responsibilities for your clients.

  1. Your authority to book for others

It is important to make clear that the person booking is the legal agent for others in his/her party. If the words are not clear that this person is booking on behalf of others, then he/she will not be responsible for a breach of contract by any of those others.

  1. What is included in the price of a Holiday

This and the following paragraph are entirely up to you.

It is entirely up to you as to how you wish to present information to your clients. In this document, we have provided all that you require contractually. Here, we suggest that you could use a separate “information pack”. This is just one way to providing detailed information. Although this is not technically part of the contract, the Court will consider that it is, in the event of any complaint. You should therefore assume that what you say must be precisely true. The balance between advice and detailed specification depends on the importance of the item concerned. The more dangerous the event or expedition, the more important is your precise advise.

Edit according to reflect your actual procedures.

  1. What is NOT included

It is not legally required to provide list of items that are “Not included”. However, to avoid any confusion you can provide the list.

Edit or delete as you require.

  1. Holiday prices

The European Union (Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements) Regulations 2019 state that you can only increase price where this has been written into the travel contract.

The increase is only possible if that change is a consequence of one of the following specific reasons:

  • increase in transport costs due to changes in fuel prices or other power sources.
  • changes in taxes or fees on travel services imposed by third parties not involved in performance of the package, e.g. tourist taxes
  • exchange rates relevant to the package.

The law also requires that if you avail this right to increase the price then the travel contract must also allow for a price reduction if the same factors lead to cost reductions.

This is the law. Reg 11 of the European Union (Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements) Regulations 2019 http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2019/si/80/made/en/print

Therefore we have worded this paragraph in simple way by not allowing price increase nor any reduction.

We suggest that before you give price of a package do consider these factors and fix the price to an amount so that any fluctuation will not affect your business at large.

Otherwise you will become subject to raft of regulations and have to follow statutory procedure.

  1. Special request

This specifies how you cater to any special requests.

By all means edit or delete as you require.

  1. Minimum participants required for the Holiday

If applicable then edit to use. Otherwise delete it.

  1. Changing your booking

Edit as you require.

  1. Transferring your booking

This paragraph covers an option where the traveller can transfer his package to another traveller provided he gives a reasonable notice to you.

At least seven days is considered a reasonable period under the law. Reg 10 of the European Union (Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements) Regulations 2019. Accordingly we have set notice period at 10.2.

However, you can charge any cost incurred due to such transfer.

  1. Cancellation by you

The European Union (Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements) Regulations 2019 state that you can charge a cancellation fee that has been written into the travel contract and the traveller terminates a package any time before the start of the package.

Following this we have provided for cancellation fee depending on the time before departure date. You can edit freely.

The cancellation fee will be considered void if the booking is cancelled due to an uncontrollable event. Often referred to as “force majeure”. This is a difficult one to consider. Few examples given in recital 31 of the Directive include warfare, other serious security problems such as terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of a serious disease at the travel destination, or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the destination as agreed in the package travel contract.

This is the law. Regulation 13 of the European Union (Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements) Regulation 2019.

We have worded this paragraph for compliance.

Leave it as is.

  1. If we cancel your holiday or make changes

This paragraph gives options to your client in case you cancel or change travel arrangements.

Edit as you require.

  1. If you have a complaint

This is important. Leave as it is.

The law requires you to give this information to your traveller. When your internal complaint handling procedure is exhausted then you must tell your customers about using a mediation or arbitration platform. Your obligation is not to force the customer to use these means of dispute resolution but just to provide information. This is to encourage the customer to use ADR rather than litigating.

If you have voluntarily committed yourselves (to your trade association?) to use ADR then by all means provide the name, website and contact details of your selected ADR provider.

You may find more details at:

http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2015/si/500/made/en/print

  1. Your financial protection

The Commission for Aviation Regulations requires all tour operators to be licensed and bonded in order to sell overseas travel services to consumers so they have financial security in case of insolvency of the organiser.

Keep it in place. For more information please go to:

https://www.aviationreg.ie/licensing/travel-trade-the-commissions-role.93.html

  1. Booking without flights

Keep this if your holiday services include travelling by coach, trains etc.

  1. Limitation on our liability

As you will be aware, the Regulations provide that you are responsible for every part of the holiday you provide, including all subcontracted arrangement like food at a particular restaurant or a camel ride in the desert. However, it is impossible for any regulation to specify exactly what is the cut-off point between what you provide and what a client does of his accord.

It follows that each case which comes to Court is taken on its own facts. If the claimant can show that it was you (including, of course, your representative) who arranged that event then you will be liable. It is therefore particularly important that every representative, including those who may make telephone contact during a holiday, is aware that he/she should avoid volunteering to make any arrangement on behalf of the client.

When it is obvious that client needs help for some reason, then of course your representative will have to provide that help. When that happens, your representative should make clear to the client that his/her help is provided for an arrangement which the client is making in his/her private capacity.

  1. Passport, visa and immigration requirements

We have no comment.

  1. Help we need from you

An optional provision to cover additional requirements that can be part of any holiday package.

Edit or remove as you require.

  1. Terms and conditions of third party

You will be aware that you are now responsible for the performance of every subcontract you might arrange, even if arranged informally “on the day”. This paragraph merely points out that additional terms and conditions might apply.

  1. Miscellaneous matters

A number of special points. Some are relevant to particular paragraphs in the document, some apply more generally. Some are included to strengthen your position generally. Do not delete unless you are quite positive of the legal effect of doing so.

Schedule 1- Privacy notice

Paragraph numbers refer to numbered paragraphs in the schedule.

Introduction

Leave these paragraphs in place unless there is a good reason to edit them or remove them. Each of these items has been carefully considered in the context of this document and has been included for a purpose.

  1. Definitions

Basic terms defined in the Act. We advise do not change.

  1. Data protection

A basic summary. We advise do not change.

  1. Personal information we may process

Data Protection Act 2018 (“Act”) only applies to personal data of an INDIVIDUAL through which he can be identified. Please note that passport details and other information related to your travelling is personal data and protected under the Act.

The purpose of this paragraph is to ensure your compliance with the Act by identifying all types of information your client will provide to you which can amount to personal data under the Act.

We have given you a structure and some examples. They are points for you to add more specific points too.

  1. The bases on which we process information about you

The Act allows a person or business to process personal data only if the purpose of processing is lawful under one of several permitted categories, called “bases” (singular is “basis” not “base”). Most commercial contracts, including this one, rely on the right of a party to process personal data on one or both of two particular legal bases. These are:

You have consented to a business processing your data; and / or

One or both of the parties would not be able to perform the contract unless that personal data was available.

Less commonly, some data may also be processed lawfully because the processor has a legal obligation to do so.

Where the data subject is a customer or client the most obvious basis of processing is certainly the “Contractual relationship”. That is to say there is a contractual obligation to carry out the service. Contract is the strongest basis for processing and the one that is most relevant for this agreement.

On the other hand, if you want to send marketing materials to your clients, then you will probably need to obtain consent from them. The easiest way to do this is to ask the client whether he or she would like to receive information about your services, and have him or her tick a box agreeing to this. If you want to be able to vary the reasons for contacting your clients, you will need a “preferences” page on your website or set up as part of your hard copy contract.

You must make sure that when you ask specifically for consent, you do so very clearly and precisely and do not assume you have consent for some additional purpose. Make sure that what the consent to is clear and separate to consent for any other purpose.

  1. Specific uses of information you provide to us

This section provides more information about specific use of information. The paragraphs within it are as much designed to reassure your client reading your policy than to aid compliance with the law.

  1. Management of your information

Under the Act, a data subject has a right to access information about him or her, and a right for that information to be kept up-to-date and only for as long as required.

You should leave these four paragraphs in place except to edit the blue text.

  1. Post termination

It is a requirement of the Act to tell data subjects for how long personal information will be kept. This paragraph is a catch-all if the information is not provided elsewhere.

Basic Irish law relating to limitation for bringing a claim, contract matters, tax and other areas often requires data to be retained for six years. You will be “safe” if you specify that period for commercial transactions.
