I have a registration SJI with 4 numbers presently on retention. It came from a car without any Irish history but which had previously had the registration transferred onto it.
I recall a while ago, on another forum, a discussion about why you see so many coaches on the roads with NI registrations. The consensus was that it was the cheapest way of getting a dateless registration. I've also seen NI registrations on wedding and funeral cars, presumably for the same reason.
I'm not sure if the practice still goes on, I've long since stopped noticing registration plates.
Doesn't help Mark at all though as "TSI", if it exists at all, would be Dublin.
