Regular Investing feature with II

I wondered if someone could clarify this for me. The regular investing plan with II at £1.50 a pop covers "UK share deals" only as well as funds etc. Now does that mean that only funds sold directly in the UK (e.g. with an ISIN number starting with GB) can be purchased under the regular scheme? There are a few ETFs I like the look of based in Ireland (ISIN IE) so would they be £10 as per regular dealing charges?
Just trying to decide which platform to go for and this could clinch it for II or not.
Thanks for your help

    I'd take it to mean shares listed on the London Stock Exchange, but don't take my word for it.....

    This is the exact wording on the website:

    Investment Charges

    Buy or sell UK funds and shares
    £10 - standard fee, per trade

    £1.50 per trade for regular investments with Portfolio Builder


    Benefits of Trading with Portfolio Builder:

    Buy UK shares for just £1.50
    Choose how much to invest
    Change the amount you invest and when
    Invest with a regular or one-off payment
    Invest in shares, ETFs and Investment Trusts

    Does anyone use II portfolio builder and can advice pls? I find it a bit unclear from the above. TIA

    If in doubt I would contact II.

    most other platforms allow for regular investment into FTSE 350 shares, selected investment trusts, selected ETFs and usually all the funds on their platform.

    I've bought individual shares, ITs and funds using the £1.50 rate. Never bought ETFs though.

    Best thing to do is message II; they will get back to you in several days time with some sort of answer.;)
