    Either actually. Though I don't just want to send some cash via the mail service.

    If you want to send money to someone in the UK you can buy a sterling draft in the post office or in a bank branch, it's probably cheaper in the bank. This will involve you sending a letter to your contact in the UK with the draft enclosed.

    If you want to wire the money then Western Union or similar is fastest but it will cost a lot more.

    If you have aib internet banking, and send it in euro to the uk with a iban and swift code there is no chrage, if you go to a branch it costs you 75 cent to fill in the form, band draft would cost you about 5.00
