    It probably will be expensive as it is last minute. (I know that obviously that can't be helped.) Have you tried flight checker on here and also Ryanair, as Ryanair doesn't always work through the flight checker? Might be worth trying expedia or lastminute.com.

    Also, try Eurolines and the train, as you can do a ferry crossing with the train/ bus quite cheaply sometimes.

    I hope you find something.

    If finding a cheap fare is important to you I suggest you go the old-fashioned way and get the train and ferry. Through tickets are available from London Euston to Dublin (via Holyhead) for under £60 return and include all rail and ferry connections.
