Any suggestions on what equipment I should be on the lookout for, what not to go for etc?

If you want to spend 400e the best option for you would be to look for the on www.adverts.ie , you will get better deal than in LBS.

Thanks for that. I had a look there, and on donedeal etc. I'd be happier going to the LBS, have a choice of new bikes and I can go back if there's any problems.
