Then we would get far fewer foreign tourists (they are already complaining that it is difficult to get in this country) and foreign countries could conceivably retaliate by not recognizing the driver's licenses of tourists from the U.S., although they would probably not be that foolish.

Couldn't find the info online but rang the DMV... I can use a rental car for the test as long as the rental car company is aware I'm using the car for that purpose, and that I have all the proper insurance.

Go raibh maith agat!

Living in a suburb of Dublin, but luckily with my job I get to travel all over this beautiful country... West Cork is especially spectacular!
