    All may be not lost, Jester! As far as I know, FEXCO is the Western Union agent for this part of the world. Its office is 066-9761258. Fingers crossed...

    Thanks guys, got that sorted... what an effort!
    After plenty of googling, found a UK num that had the Kerry address with it, so gave it a try. 4 customer support personel, a few supervisors and 50 mins later got it sorted, going to be an expensive call!
    They only needed to prove I was who I saying I was, so they looked up my name in the telephone book and checked to see if the phone number I gave corresponded... don't know why that took so long :confused:
