    Look online for UK retailers not registered for VAT in Ireland (CRC and Wiggle will apply Irish VAT) - 20% or so discount built in so if you can get free delivery you are very likely to pick up something a lot cheaper than in Ireland

    Decathlon in Belfast has this nice-looking Giro helmet with lots of air space - others will review its competence, but I use a MIPS Giro and like it; the MIPS was important to me (in theory it allows the brain to roll within the head in case of a head bang, lessening the chance of head injury). Decathlon has a coupl eof MIPS helmets, but they're for skiing.

    If you see a good deal on those sites you can use parcelmotel/parcelwizard/addresspal/parcelconnect for delivery, they are about 4euro to use and should be no VAT.

    Look at the Briko Fuoco on Planet X. For some reason PX are able to sell them half the price of anywhere else. I have one and it's very very comfortable and looks excellent. I have the red/white/black version. Very impressed with it.
