    Any suggestions to where I can get good cardboard boxes as I'll be moving house and need to start packing things up.... Is there a company that specialises ?? Do movers provide them ??? All new to me, thanks :)

    If you go with a moving company, they'd provide boxes or crates a few weeks in advance of the move.

    I got a recent quote of around €1200 + VAT, so nearly €1500.
    But we may need to hold the contents of the house in storage for a couple of weeks, so it might effectively be 2 moves.

    Ask in your local supermarket. I recently moved house & got over 70 boxes from our local Supervalu over a few weeks. I unfortunately recycled them so can't pass them on.

    You can buy moving packs in Argos (not cheap though!)

    We moved recently and our removals company supplies as many boxes as we needed - kept getting more of them as the packing went on - Dundalk based company: if you want the name I'll PM it to you?

    IKEA sells packaging boxes or u store it in Santry. I've often gotten boxes from Supervalu and Aldi without any problems.
