    i've been searching the same thing - but i'd say if somewhere did sell to the republic, the shipping charge would make the price the same as buying down here.

    It's awkward from a legal point of view because they'd be obliged to charge the excise duty which is due in the country of destination. Not that many online drink retailers bother.

    best bet is to drive up the north...
    I don't like to say it but it is the only solution.

    Keep an eye out in the supermarkets for specials then. Them Scandanavian ones do cheap booze . Staroprammen and Budvar are on special in most places. About 2quid a bottle (well various places have multiple buys offers) or 2 for €3.50 in Tesco

    There are some companies up north that will deliver to your door, they are discussed in the bargain alerts forum. It is a bit of a grey area for reasons BeerNut said. I think some supermarkets have stopped dealing with them.

    Basically you go online and order shopping, it gets free delivery to the couriers HQ, and they drive a big truck down with lots of stopoffs.
