You must have it valid in the assessment day. If you pass you can have it expired for a maximum of 12 months when you start your training.
the reason for that is that once you add the type rating to the license it renews your ME IR.
Your MEP will be lapsed but you won’t need it anymore unless you want to work in parallel as a FI.
This information was given by Ryanair in the Dublin assessment day.
I was in this situation and have other friends starting their training with their ME IR expired after their assessment.

This is incorrect.
