    Dixons Travel in Dublin airport sell them a fair bit cheaper than rrp here too, and you can buy on your way out and collect it on your return.
    But to answer your question, you won't have any charges to worry about if you buy over there and bring it back.

    Cheaper than Ireland or the UK?

    My 13" MBP was about €150 less than Irish RRP (which none of the retailers would budge from, not even Harvey "haggle with us" Norman) in Dixons in T2 last June.

    Note: If you are a student the UK student discount is substantially better than the Eire one. Mainly because in the UK a student can get 76% off AppleCare whereas in Ireland there is only 15% off or so
