    emweaver I am sure someone has one on here has won previously with Belfast Telegraph, that doesnt live there.

    Sorry if I gave the incorrect information about the postage, must be having a senior moment! Must have been a Dublin comp.

    Hope this helps

    Yes, same price to post to Northern Ireland as it is part of UK. People often think it costs more but I post to England from NI all the time and the price is the same. The only time you pay more is when private courier firms are used.
