If its just 50 quid, you can wait until you get there and withdraw cash from an ATM, the difference will be pence. Mind you, changing money at the airport isn't a bad idea as it will give you something to do.0

I travel to Ireland (Republic of) frequently to stay with relatives. I always use my debit card at the ATM in arrivals at Dublin Airport. I always withdraw 200 euros - any euros left over can then be used on the next visit. The charge for using my debit card is minimal. Do not use a credit card to obtain cash!0

Why would you take both currencies if staying in Northern ireland, and definitely why would you take more of a foreign currency than you would of sterling for a UK destination?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Southern Ireland is a perfectly good term to use.0 -
Or just take 2 minutes and pre order with travelex or whoever is BdC of choice at the airport you use and collect on arrival. The rate is woeful at the airport on demand0
