How to convert Irish Paper Share Certificate Post Brexit...

[Deleted User]

I know it has been discussed before but threads are old and some of the brokers recommended either don't respond (Davy for eg) or aren't able to open account for non Irish resident (Goodbody for eg).
I have some DCC Plc certificates that I would like to sell. Has anyone been successful finding an Irish broker that can dematerialise then sell the shares.
Thanks for your help.

In what way does Davy not respond? Have you tried calling?

I emailed their London and Dublin office. Got a returned email they would come back within days and nothing. Can't call abroad from my mobile. Goodbody replied by email telling me they don't deal with UK residents because of Brexit.

The numbers for the London and Belfast offices are on its website. Not being able to call abroad is a bit of a problem when you're dealing with things from abroad...

Anyway, to avoid calling I'd just ask for the non-EU/UK application form to be sent to me, see link, and then see about finding the share certificate, "Transfer Form" the T&Cs mention. It might be on its website somewhere.
