Now that delivery etc has risen from the north, Event from Easy glow Last year I paid €380 tonne / 50 = €7.60 per bag. If Coop did a bit of a deal then maybe knock another 50c or €1 per bag off, Brings the price down a bit while shopping local.

I've used coal warehouse a few times and its much cheaper and handier with the 20kg bags but the drivers won't come down my road and leave my coal on the main road so I have to get someone out to guard it while I'm moving it.

Edit: It is Warde Groupage, another poster got delivery to Waterford for €72 as well. Edit 2: CW are putting up their prices from 17th Sept, by €25/30 per tonne
