I have been hearing that the Irish are finally going to convert their speed signs to metric sometime around June or September of 2004. I have not seen in print any "official" news release. If anyone here knows anything about Irish conversion, can someone direct me to a website where an official statement details the final conversion of road signs? I also understand there has been a notification sent to the automobile manufacturers indicating the requirement that new autos have metric speedometer and odometer instrumentation. Is this correct? When will the first metric (referring to the speedometer/odometer unit) automobile be available in Eire, anyone know?
One more thing. What is the situation regarding the metrication of scales in Eire? Is the conversion complete, or is it stuch inneutral? Do the Irish use modern digital scales, or the old-fashioned analog type? Thanks, Euric
