Dunleer junctions: what learners work on
The R132 junction at the south of town
Where the R132 ring road meets the southern town approach off the main south-north line. The T junction is the kind of feature where observation tends to slip if a learner hasn't worked it before.
We run this junction in the EDT lessons before the pretest, so by test day it's a repeat. Most Dunleer learners build their confidence here on the way in and out of Ardee.

What our learners say
I did my lessons with instructor Colman Sheehan. I've passed in one go! He's simply the best. Can't recommend enough! Very patient and informative. Didn't forget a thing. People say they're afraid of this part or that but there was nothing at all for me! He teached me from scratch. Always punctual and pleasant. I've heard loads of nonsense about some instructors around not teaching well or incorrect rules. Don't think twice guys! Contact Colman. You can have a laugh or be more quite with him depending on your personality. Very easy and comfortable to be around. My pre test route on the morning was exactly as test!!!
Just passed my test with the help of Will Rooney. I definitely wouldn’t have made it through it without him, he is an expert in driving tests and helped me immensely. Highly recommend William and the RSA School of Motoring.
Brilliant service. I was nervous about my upcoming driving test. But RSA were great, they put me at my ease, pointed out my strengths and my weaknesses. After a couple of lessons i have eliminated those weaknesses and i was confident and ready to go !!! They were definitely that lead to my passing. Thanks guys .

Driving lessons in Dunleer: frequently asked questions
How much do Dunleer driving lessons cost?
Manual is €53.27 for a single lesson, €587.95 for the 12-lesson EDT (which works out at €49 per hour). Automatic is €61.41 per hour or €659.24 for twelve. Pricing page.
Will EDT lessons in Dunleer cover Main Street?
Yes. The long village street running north-south through town, with the side parking and pedestrian crossings, is the early observation lesson. The R132 junction at the south of town and the R170 link west toward Ardee are on the working route too. EDT detail.
Is the automatic option available in Dunleer?
Yes. The Drogheda automatic instructor covers Dunleer up the R132. €61.41 per lesson, €659.24 for the 12-lesson set. Same Main Street parking practice in either gearbox. Automatic detail.
Will a female instructor be free for Dunleer?
Often. Dunleer is eighteen minutes from the Drogheda depot, so the rota usually carries slots most weeks. Note your preference on the contact form when you book and we'll match you to the closest free slot.
Are pick-ups in Dunleer free of charge?
Yes. The R132 trip up from Drogheda is on the school's clock. The lesson hour begins outside your house in Dunleer, not when the dual-controlled car leaves the depot. The drive in isn't billed.
How long does the run from Dunleer to the Drogheda test centre take?
About eighteen minutes, sixteen kilometres south on the R132. Pretest lessons rehearse that exact morning route, so by test day the drive across to the Donore Road is one you've driven the night before.
Will I get to do the parking and pedestrian sections on Main Street?
Yes. The long Main Street with side parking and pedestrian crossings is one of the better stretches in north Louth for testing the parking and observation parts of the EDT. We loop it during early lessons with the mirror routine called out until it becomes habit.
