Is the process of getting an Irish driver's license as traumatizing as getting a Japanese driver's license in (there's a complicated set course that resembles no real-world conditions at all that most people are expected to fail half a dozen times unless they prepare by taking special tutoring which, hey, is offered by companies associated with the people who give the test).
Not from anything I've heard. By all reports it's dumb in different ways, mostly related to the bureaucracy here possessing an astonishing lack of urgency. You go on the waiting list to take the test and they'll get to you when they get to you. (vast national shrug)
This has upsides—they truly do not seem to give two shits if you're a day, a week, or six months late with paperwork no matter what the theoretical "due date" was—but it also has downsides.
