New Number Plate system in Ireland

13 can either be lucky or unlucky, so it has been all change in 2013 for the registration plate in Ireland. From now on, all new cars will have a different format registration plate.

The Irish Motor Industry changed the plate because of the seasonality of car sales in Ireland. 80% of new cars are sold in the first half of the year. The new number plate system will help spread car sales more evenly through the year.

A very useful video has been produced by The Society of the Irish Motor Industry that can be viewed below.
