OK, so what IS the official currency? British Pound? Irish Punt? What is the current conversion rate to US Dollars? There are prices on the DOA site, but I don't think they are US Dollars. 1 USD = 0.687 GBP (135 GBP = $196.46 USD) 1 USD = 0.847 IEP (135 IEP = $159.34 USD) Conversion rate plays some significance in budgeting the trip!
