    London/Belfast fare well among the UK list:

    An Irish equivalent would be interesting, I must start keeping track of any I enter from now on.

    Where did they get the £35 from for London? Sure it wasn't that much.

    The most expensive entry for Dublin is €90 / £65, or am I missing something?

    But there is an online fee also with the payment.
    Ireland is an expensive place so it's only natural
