SEAT Ireland has announced details of its association with the Mondello Park Early Drive Programme. SEAT has supported the initiative since 2011 and this year, SEAT has unveiled a fleet of all new SEAT Ibiza models to be used throughout the programme.

The Early Drive Programme will allow 650 transition year students across Ireland gain valuable, early driving experience in a perfectly safe environment.

As part of the partnership, seven SEAT dealers across the country will be sending transition year students from their elected schools with a total of 650 Transition Year students set to avail of the Early Drive Programme at no cost to the schools involved.
