The key issue is jurisdiction, which refers to whether Irish courts have the legal authority to hear your case. Under EU regulations and international private law, if the at-fault driver or their insurer has a presence in Ireland or is domiciled in an EU member state, you may be able to bring your claim in the Irish courts.
