    A few weeks back, I could swear I saw an Irish registered car where the county code was WN. I can't see any evidence of this anywhere, that this code exists. I suspect that it was a foreign car, but it followed the Irish format YY - WN - xxxxx which I don't believe any other country does.

    Can somebody put me out of my misery?

    You imagined or misread it. Have you been tested for dyslexia?

    Are you sure it wasnt WH instead of WN (i.e. maybe the H appeared like N) and therefore it would be a westmeath car!

    Were they green?

    Trade plates follow a format of something like county and then a number, I think each county has so many trade plates per garage.

    Trade plates go number, county, year. Garages normally buy 2+ sets; one for sales dept and one for service.

    Hows the law there? Does no law apply as they are not part of the roads network of the country?

    Those pics are from Tory Island. I've also been to Aranmore recently. Almost everyone has diesel cars that run on green diesel, they have no tax or insurance etc. Most of the cars are well beat out, northern / english reg.

    When the Guards are going to the islands (which doesnt happen often) they go on the regular boat and the islanders get a phone call in advance :)

    Yea - they have to book a place for the patrol car on the ferry. :)

    Years ago it was common to see children driving on Arranmore Island. Maybe it still happens - I haven't been there since the 1970s.

    They are also exempt from the NCT.
