    To shop around you would need to get another lender to buy out your current mortgage with AIB. Rare these days.

    A mortgage renewal is not like insurance renewal. You have a contract with AIB for the full term of the mortgage. the renewal is just a change in terms of repayments (ie. fixed or variable)

    If you can get a good fixed rate would be good to fixed for 3-4 years. Reason being is variable rates will go up over the next few years. The fixed rates are higher than variable but allows more certainty over the medium term.
