    I'd offer to do it, only they look like surface mounted components, which I'd probably screw up.

    Are you a student of NUIG? The technicians down in Nuns Island might be kind enought to help you out if you ask nicely.

    you could bring it into Maplin. They have a kind of workshoop at the back of the store. They'd have it done in seconds I'd imagine. What you need to do is very simple

    Bring it to a technician - someone with a digitally controlled soldering station, magnifying arm and steady hand.

    As Black knight suggested, go down to the Electronic Engineering Dept. in Nuns island, the technicians are located on the first floor, go in and ask them, there really nice guys, if they ask you who are tell them your a physics student or something

    Pay? No. A smile and thank you will suffice. It works for everyone else.
    Your best off just walking into them and asking. Ringing is more for a service, and not for a gesture of their goodwill.
    1st Floor, room 201. Their office is inside on the left. As sharkdawg says, say your a physics student or something and if they dont mind could they solder it. You'll be back in an hour or something.
