Posting from England to Ireland

Eire means burden in Irish.
Éire with a fada over the E refers to the country.

Better to use Ireland than Eire in address - correct name of country when writing in English.

I have agreed withmy Irish cousins that we save our money because £3.40 to me is ridiculous. We can use our computers to communicate.

It's best to go to postoffice for them to weigh the card ? Put EIRE on if its to Southern Ireland ... This is in European Community ... and put in ordinary postbox ...

I've just posted two to the Republic. Yes £3.40 each. I did it with Royal Mail online as we don't have a post office nearby. I paid and printed my label. In past years I've taken them into the post office. £3.40 is ridiculous.

Thank you. It does seem to be £3.40, and can go in the postbox with the right stamp and an airmail sticker.

Just checked - it starts at £3.40 - if your card is light, that should cover it. But please don’t go by what I say - check it yourself ..

Check online at the POWebsite and you could probably find out the postage to Ireland. I don’t blame you for not wanting to stand in a queue at the PO.
