Good news for permit aircraft owners in UK and Ireland; well done to all concerned :D

Text from IAA website today:

Irish and UK Aviation Authorities adopt mutual recognition of Flight Permits

25 April 2012: On Friday 27 April 2012, the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will simultaneously adopt mutual recognition of flight permits. This will allow aircraft, without an ICAO certificate of airworthiness, to visit and overfly each others State more freely. Microlights, classic & vintage aircraft and other civil aircraft on a flight permit will benefit from these changes. These changes will take effect through IAA Aeronautical Notice A19 and CAA Generic Concession (GC) 6.

IAA Aeronautical Notice A19 will allow UK registered aircraft, with a valid Permit to Fly, to visit Ireland for up to 28 days at a time. UK CAA General Concession GC 6 provides the reciprocal freedom for Irish registered aircraft visiting the UK.

hopefully our Irish skies will fill up with some very interesting new and old aircraft, it is a great chance to get you all over for some beers and expensive avgas

And licences and medicals ? More specifically the NPPL licence + medical? I understood that historically that had been a problem for operation of many UK pilots in Eire?
