I'm almost certain it's generally GB or none -unless it's a car travelling up from the Republic then it's IE but the registration is completely different

I had a friend in England and what surprised me most about the plates is that they stay with the car when it`s sold, unlike here where the plates are transferred to a new car.

yes, when you trade in a car for another one, the plates on that car come off and are transferred to the new one.

when cars are for sale on a car lot here, they have NO licence plates on them. If you want to go for a test drive, the dealer has a special dealer plate he attaches. If you buy the car, you have to provide your own set of plates.

Replying to the original post -
Since last year was the 100th anniversary of the launching and sinking of the Titanic, there were several articles in "Ireland of the Welcomes" magazine about the ship and the fact that the Harland & Wolff Shipyards now house the Titanic Belfast® Exhibit.
At the end of April / first of May (2013), my parents and I will be spending 2 weeks in Ireland. The first week, we're renting a cottage near Ennis in County Clare, which is a good location to tour around the West and South-West (we visited this area in 2001). During the second week, we'll be renting a cottage near Drumconrath in County Meath, which is a good location to tour around the North (including Belfast and the Titanic Exhibit) and the North-East (including Dublin).
Take Care, David Baldock
