It’s reported that the Government is to bring in a new licence-plate system next year amid fears that a ’13’ registration number would hit car sales.

According to the Irish Independent cars registered between January and the end of June will have a ‘131’ registration.
And those from July 1st to the end of the year will have ‘132’ on the plate.
The decision is based partly on fears that superstition about a ’13’ reg would affect sales and partly in response to the motor industry’s plea to spread sales more evenly across the year.
