I withdrew below the €200 limit at a BOI ATM, spend the remainder on Diesel, groceries in LIDL, then converted the remaining €7 into UK£ and topped up my amazon.co.uk with it to leave a zero balance of any currency on my card.

If you have kids and they want to buy something on PlayStation or Xbox you can load up a disposable virtual card and give them the details over text. They’ll only be able to buy that one thing they asked for and nothing more.

Sometimes, though, regulations change, processing methods are no longer supported, and documents expire. The result is that the ID you provided before is no longer valid.

Remember there was rumors of a total lockdown of Dublin last week and these were easily proven false. Gotta be pragmatic in this day and age they also have a Lithuanian Banking licence too and are covered under the Euro scheme. Using it for Forex exchanges and small transactions is what this is best for.

Will my electricity payment still go through? It was worth 400 euro, and the money went from my account, but the bill on the electricity company hasn't updated yet.
