    Depends how much.

    If it a couple of grand then www.currency.ie

    if its more than 10k open an account with interactive brokers and trade at the spot price.

    Thanks for reply!
    Its just enough to fund a week in the UK to visit family so definitely not a large volume at all! I wish!

    if you are with Ulster bank - use an ATM in the UK at Nat West bank . No charges .
