2) Pay for things in Sterling

3) Use an ATM that dispenses 'own brand' bank notes.

4) Go to the giant's causeway, tory island and the Bushmills distillery

5) Hop on a ferry to Scotland

6) Get cheap shoppings from Newry

7) Receive a punishment beating from an authentic IRA combatant.

8) Go for a swim in the biggest lake in the country

9) Buy deliciously overpriced petrol.
