George, Most auto license plates in Ireland have the county and the age of the car right on the plate.In the case of the county it's the first and last letter of the county name, hence GY Galway and RM Roscommon. It probably applies elsewhere as well. Jack Langton **************New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines. (http://www.aol.com/?ncid=emlcntaolcom00000026)
