The system of registration numbers in Northern Ireland dates from the time of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (pre 1922).  They went in alphabetic order of county name IA IB etc.  I think IA is Antrim and IB is Armagh.  This means you can have interesting plates like CIA.  In this neck of the woods IP was Kilkenny and IN was Kerry so you had RIP and SIN.  Unfortunately since 1987 we have the meaningful but dull system 87-KK-01 and 87-KY-01 now.

A plate with FIB is from Northern Ireland and I suppose it can be transferred for use in Britain because NI is part of the UK.  Plates from this part of the country have year of registration - county - index number e.g. the Lord Mayor of Dublin's official car 07-D-01.

The only Geata Bán I have heard of is in Kilkenny where they play hurling.

I'm Irish but I'm not in Spain yet.  I am in the process of buying in the Orihuela Costa area and I'm told that it is full of Irish (Dubliners mainly).  It will be like going to Courtown.
