Article about JJ Kavanaghs, today in the Sunday Business Post.

The Kavanaghs have also been transporting the Kilkenny hurling team to Croke Park for the last 18 years, and the team always travels on the ‘‘KK 1’’ registration bus. All of the company’s buses have a ‘‘1’’ on their registration plates, according to Paul Kavanagh.

‘‘If it has one 1 on the plate, it has a toilet on board. Two 1s is the 53-seater bus, three 1s is the 55-seater and four 1s is the service bus which is wheelchair accessible,” he said.

‘‘Our buses have had 1s on their registration plates since 1993.

‘‘It’s a sign of where we want to be in the market.”

Interesting but what happens if other motorists in Kilkenny/Waterford/Tipperary also reserve a 1/11/111/1111 plate? It's done by lottery and only one entry per person is officially accepted. I can't see how Kavanagh's can legally be certain of getting the desired plates.

It's a coincidence, that's all.

I've seen a few cars with LS as the identifiers but some other county as Gaeilge as the county where the car was registered, can anyone shed light???

LS = Laoighis, was that what you saw?

Having the wrong 'county' on top of the plate is illegal, but I would be amazed if anyone was pulled for it. Pretty sure NCT testers would spot it. Why do it, though?

A driver probably chose 07 LS 460 for his Lexus, but may now live (or always have lived) in another county
