Sir, – Over the last few weeks I’ve been trying to purchase gifts for my family in Ireland, and I’ve made the effort to seek out Irish merchants, where possible. The internet should make this a straightforward proposition, but unfortunately I’ve been prevented from spending my money in Ireland on more than one occasion by websites that will only accept credit cards that have an Irish or British billing address. Three times this week I’ve tried to pay for items from Irish merchants, only to be turned away when I go to the online checkout.
It’s often cheaper to order from UK merchants, even with higher delivery charges. Now it’s easier as well. – Yours, etc,
AENGUS LAWLOR,
