    I'm not sure if the same/euro equivalent deal is in ROI shops, but I'd expect so.

    usually there is a pretty sizeable mark up on the euro equivalent. Add at least €20 to the currency conversion.

    It's not just Maplin to be fair. So many UK chains with a presence in Ireland rip us off with inflated Euro prices. It's almost worth a drive to Newry or even Belfast, depending of course on how much the potential saving is. Still, filling your car boot with Ikea stuff might help weigh up the value of a trip up North. Though, naturally, that is debatable. :p
