Noel Coonan TD has been informed that from 1 January 2014 a single vehicle registration plate of “T” for Tipperary will be introduced. The local Fine Gael Deputy submitted a parliamentary question to Finance Minister Michael Noonan asking if registration number plates for Tipperary vehicles will change following the merger of North and South County Councils next year.
“I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that in the context of Local Government reform, regulations will be drafted to amend the vehicle registration number plates for counties Tipperary, Limerick and Waterford," said Deputy Noel Coonan.
“When finalised and signed by the Revenue Commissioner, it is intended that these regulations will come into effect from 1 January 2014 and will result in a single registration plate of “T” for Tipperary, “L” for Limerick, and “W” for Waterford, for vehicles first brought into use on or after 1 January 2014,” continued Deputy Noel Coonan.
“Where a vehicle has been first brought into use in another country prior to 1 January 2014, and subsequently is imported and registered in Ireland after 1 January 2014, the current registration plates (TS, TN, L, LK, W, and WD) will used for these pre-2014 vehicles. This is to maintain the integrity of the numbering system in place for the years prior to 2014.
The changes are not expected to have an impact on either motor dealerships or motorists, as the registration numbers will continue to be assigned by Revenue at the time of registration of the vehicle,” concluded Deputy Noel Coonan.
