    I don't know about Next going in where Menary's was. That building is for sale now. There are big signs in the windows advertising it.

    Thats even worse.
    He is swanning around in an english registered Jag which he is either leasing or it belongs to the Mordaunt Group.
    He is selling a nice 2007 Kia Cee'd at the moment.
    Why can't he drive that or something similar ?

    he said the registration is now under the NCT people. Are business people say who like him claim to have it for show use allowed to have an english reg? I do not know the rules about english reg
    it will be interesting to see the result of that case
    indeed but it must be in motion or he could not say it on air

    Ok,I listened to the first 14 minutes of the interview.
    I am almost physically sick after the sh1te that he is spouting.
    "You need to decide what you need to do to fix your own situation.That might mean handing back the keys to your house.It might mean that you need to downsize"

    Easy for you George when you live in your mansion worth €1m+ and you don't recognise a legally constituted tribunal.
    Does he recognise Revenue ?
    VAT ? or does this just not suit either.

    What is extremely sad is that he is so revered by half the country and yet he is exactly the same as the "English Car dealers" that he warns about in the interview (loads of jewellery and crocodile shoes).To quote himself "real geezers".

    I believe the rules are different if you are a car dealer. Look at the second hand car lots around Clonmel, you'll see cars with registration plates that say "2010" or "BMW".

    These are imports not yet registered.

    Except if you try to drive around with "2010" or "BMW" as a plate the car would be seized on you.
    You are correct,though,they are imports which are not registered yet.It allows the dealer a bit of leeway to sell the car.
    George however is driving around in an English registered car for months.

    I didn't hear this interview, but I did hear the one he did with Pat Kenny. He was advising business people to close the business down and tell their staff that they can't afford redundancy, but inform them how to go about getting it from the State. Then re open the business again, taking back on only the best workers, at a lower rate of pay, Charming!

    and what if the dealer drives it on a uk reg before it is sold? Can he?

    what he claims is :its a company car. he is an employee driving it. that is different to if you or he bought it. it is still in ownership of the company as a car for sale. can you test drive a uk plate car here

    Not sure of all the intricacies of registering an English car but as Snipey says above a private individual has to register the car within 24 hours or risk seizure(I presume that if you were actually caught driving an English reg you would probably be OK for a few days,maybe a week)
    I would suspect that a dealer would be allowed to drive on "garage plates" but I don't think he would do this indefinitely.
    Open to correction but as far as I know it is illegal to drive on English plates in Ireland(same as it is illegal to drive on Irish plates in England)
    Put it this way,if I was a car dealer who was importing English cars and taking the English plates off them immediately,I would not be impressed if a competitor in the same town was flouting the law by driving on English plates for months.
    Even if it is not illegal it gives the impression of "pulling a fast one"

    Any car dealer that does not put a price on his cars is breaking the law too
