Some of the RDS is on merrion road lol

It might be an idea to put up a location map and directions (bus routes, etc.) on pokerireland.ie or on the mermaid website, im pretty sure most of the international players won't know where the RDS is!
Could save yourselves a lot of phone calls....

If someone has opened a moneybooker account and funds it by cash via the post office today (they ain't got bank cards), will they be able to register via mermaid by tomorrow night?
