    Sten Line also operate several services. Where are you buying, and where have you to bring it back to?

    350 isn't much at all.

    Ferry, flights, fuel, local transport, etc would easily cost the guts of €250.

    I regularly go over to London, combining a trip I was taking anyway and that would just about make it worthwhile.

    http://www.norsemerchant.com/index.asp are approx €90 one way (€120 July/August) Liverpool-Dublin. It's an 8 hour crossing though.

    shouldv made it clearer,yes dub would be prefarable-but not a neccessity. wexford could work too-if the saving outweighed the extra fuel cost.
    John r -cheers,ill check them out. It seems to be the avg figure of between 100-150 depending.
