Sounds like it's either Western Union or Moneygram, or a Jiffy bag of used notes in the post.

How much do you need to send? What's the lowest cost airfare to Ireland?

 

[alicat]

Oh, scrub that then!

Perhaps you could ride there? Do a few LEJOGs or JOGLEs (I can't recall which end is which, sorry ).

How would they expect payment from someone in Ireland?

In potatoes probably

If I can help let me know

It's cost you far more then 6.5 Euros to send that amount. Do they accept Paypal?

If not, overall, I'd not bother.

no paypal, can't forget it, as its a government document which I need...

Are you sure they don't accept credit cards or something, I know I've paid for certicates in the past without any problem.

 

[summerdays]

it can only be by irish personal cheque, money or postal order, euro giro, or international bank cheque ..
from the Irish postal service they accept Euro Giro's from lots of european countries but the UK is not mentioned...

Then a relative to stump up the money, it's hardly a huge amount.

Ah - the joined up joys of the EU

one option is to send all my paperwork with 10 euros to a cousin in Dublin and get her to buy an Irish postal order and then forward it on....but that means losing days, where I'd rather send direct and get it back sooner rather than later ....

Less days lost than spending 3 days looking for an alternative though.

 

[PhilDawson8270]

very true but if there was an another option and could send direct I could save up to a week on lost days....

Scan and email the documents, paypal them the 10 Eur (or Bank Transfer if you don't have PayPal). They can print and sort the cash on Monday. No lost days.

Unless I'm missing something, you seem to be making it more difficult than it needs to be?

Ring your bank and ask if they can prepare an international cheque for you or do a bankers draft? As it is for the Irish Government I cant imagine too many questions been asked.

Ring up the department and ask them what they advise. There are enough Irish expats that it must be a problem they've had before.

Could you fax them a tenner, tell them to keep the change
