Solicitor who has an account with Danske Bank?

Morning everyone. 

Am in the process of compiling an application for Irish citizenship through naturalisation for my husband. It’s a non-standard application as we are permanently resident abroad because of my work. I think it’s worth a shot. 
I will be visiting family in Northern Ireland in October.  

One problem I’ve run into concerns payment of the €175 processing fee. 

We have no way of obtaining a “bank draft drawn on an Irish bank”. Which is the only option offered in Form 8. 

I emailed the Citizenship Department a couple of weeks ago, asking if they could suggest an alternative but no reply yet.  

Does anyone know a solicitor in Northern Ireland who has an account with Danske Bank and might be willing to get us a euro bank draft? In return for a fee of course. 
I phoned around yesterday and Danske Bank seems to be the only bank up north that issues euro bank drafts acceptable to the Citizenship Department. But they won’t issue them to non customers and no one in my family has an account with them.  Or seems to want to open one!

My final option is to pop over the border when I’m in NI and buy an An Post money postal order but I’ve received no authorization from the department- INIS - to submit that instead of a bank draft.  

All suggestions welcome. Many thanks in advance.

Or perhaps someone knows a solicitor in NI who deals with Irish citizenship applications?
