Silly number plate system manages to sell less cars

Car sales in Ireland fell by 6.6 per cent lat year.

The idea that dividing the year into two for number plate purposes would sell more cars was of course silly from day one. Indeed, it was a system that, if anything, would delay certain types of people buying a new car.

It was clearly a non-runner and also a waste of money.

Why can't the State devise a system where the number plate will give no detail of year of production? It's a system that runs and works in other EU countries.
