Right - time to tap the font of all knowledge again...

Does anyone know if the Irish (Republic of) number plates are as reflective as they are back in Blighty? (Or if they are reflective at all)

Cheers!

Don't think there is any difference in terms of reflectiveness... If there is I've never noticed the difference

Same white film used. I find myself behind Irish cars alot when I'm down in Swansea, reflectiveness looks exactly the same.

UK road-legal number plates must comply with British Standard BS AU 145d.

Irish plastic plates require "reflex reflective material".
