Top 10 most beautiful places in Ireland to visit this May Day bank holiday weekend
- Start things off on the right foot with a leisurely walk around the ring of Gullion, County Armagh. This well-known âArea of Outstanding Beautyâ surrounds many town places in the Armagh area but is still far enough away to escape from civilisation and enjoy nature to the fullest. Visit local attractions such as Camlough Lake, Slieve Gullion Forest Park, the Kilnasaggart Stone or last but not least the Mourne Mountains.
- Reaching up to over 700 feet high as well as stretching on for roughly 5 miles, itâs hard to imagine that the Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, could be missed by tourists. And while this destination may not be for those of the faint of heart, we strongly encourage you to face your fears and visit this liberating and breathe taking area. You can climb OâBrienâs Tower for an even greater chance of vertigo.
- A classic destination to travel to when roaming in Ireland, the Giantâs Causeway, County Antrim, has been always been an area surrounded by myth and mystery. Whether itâs the legend of the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill using the causeway to walk to Scotland or the secret into how the hexagonal Basalt columns were formed. Donât let its popularity deter you from paying this area a visit.
- If youâre looking for somewhere to stay this May bank holiday weekend, you canât do much better than PowersCourt, County Wicklow. While a fine hotel on its own, what really makes this place special is the PowersCourt House & Gardens inside the surrounding estate. Stunning Italian and Japanese gardens, the highest waterfall in Ireland and two Championship Golf courses make PowersCourt a perfect destination to stay this weekend.
- Burren National Park, County Clare is a solid choice not just due to the large extent of limestone spread across the entire 1500 hectare zone. Despite the lack of soil, Burren is internationally famous for its landscape and flora. A visit to the Burren during the spring months will leave you mesmerised by the colourful diversity of flowering plants alongside the variety of wildlife and selection of ancient structures such as the Poulnabrone Dolmen (Hole of Sorrows).
- If you want to experience a quick adrenaline rush in a relatively short space of time (depending on how long it takes you to tip-toe across that is), Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, County Antrim offers such thing. At only 20m long, one may not see crossing the bridge as much of a challenge, but once you are 100 feet above crashing waves against the hard rocks below, on a narrow metre wide path, you might think different… Still a great place to take in the sights though.
- The bustling streets of Dublin, may not strike one as a place to enjoy nature this weekend, however the city does offer some fantastic beaches. One of which, Killiney Beach, is a rocky yet still pleasant path to walk at low tide, but come high tide the beach is a serene, calm place to go for a swim.
- If youâd rather visit a beach with a bit more action, Rossnowlaugh Beach, County Donegal, is a popular blue flag beach with rich golden sand and perfect waves. Drop into Fin McCoolâs surf school to learn how to ride the surf or call up to Surferâs Bar for fantastic food and exceptional views. You can even spend the night at the comfy SandHouse hotel, located right by the beach.
- Fancy seeing Ireland from a different point of view? Take a helicopter tour and see Eagle Island, County Mayo with a birdâs eye view. The island is currently uninhabited and boasts an impressive lighthouse and along with the wild waves and winds colliding against every side of the island, it makes for some spectacular images. Make sure to bring your camera for this one!
- Whether itâs the crazy aul antics of Fr. Jack, the innocence of Fr. Dougal, the kindness of Mrs Doyle, or the sorrow we feel for Fr. Ted Crilly, Father Ted is a show that brought much joy to many people across not just Ireland, but the whole of the UK as well. That is why we think any âtrueâ fan of the show should go pay a visit to âCraggy Islandâ, aka Kilfenora, County Clare to see the iconic parochial house used in the show. We recommend going here even if your not a fan, as it is still a beautiful area to visit.

Epson T1811 Ink Cartridge Outsells all other all-in-one Printer Cartridges
It’s estimated that sales of Epson printers in Ireland have doubled in the last year alone with the release of several latest all-in-one printer editions. The latest range of Epson inkjet printers under the label Epson expression XP have enjoyed very successful sales due to the initial low cost of the printer. At this moment, there are twenty-one models of the printer, listed below are the most popular sellers in the High Street and online. XP-202 ink cartridges are the most sought after printer ink in this range of printers. They are closely followed in second place by the Epson XP-205 ink cartridges.
This popular range of printer uses four individual ink cartridges the most frequently used being the black Epson T1811XL ink cartridge. The other three colours are the T1812XL Cyan, T1813XL Magenta and T1814XL yellow. The cartridge are also known in by their abbreviated code of Epson 18XL. The high capacity T1811XL ink cartridge will print around 500 A4 pages at 5% coverage, (which essentially equates to a page of double line spaced text) obviously if you print colour images the page yield will decrease depending on the coverage of the ink on the paper. The Epson XP-305 ink cartridges will also print around 500 A4 pages at 5% coverage as well but again bear in mind the decrease in the number of pages if you are printing colour images.
The popular Epson Expression ‘small-in-one’ printers as they are commonly referred to are printer, copier scanners. This ability to print copy and scan together with individual ink replacement makes it a popular printer, as the expense of replacing an ink cartridge is not the same as that of a single or two-cartridge printer.
The added advantage is that tests have shown that the Epson Expression range of printers will readily accept the non-original version of the T1811 ink cartridge without any issues and this is where this range of printers comes into its own. The savings on the running costs with Epson XP-405 ink cartridges using a good quality compatible T1811 ink cartridge as opposed to a genuine Epson cartridge are enormous.
The cost of an original brand Epson T1811 cartridge in Ireland is approximately âŹ18 whereas a high quality compatible version of the cartridge can be purchased for as little as âŹ1 a cartridge, (when bought as part of a multipack) often with free delivery. This easy to use range of printers can be purchased for as little as âŹ60 online and when used in conjunction with non-original T1811 ink cartridges itâs not hard to see why Epson Expression Home XP-322 ink cartridges has become one of Epsonâs most popular range of printers and it’s cartridges the biggest seller.

How to search for and where to find the best value compatible Epson printer ink cartridges in Ireland
Using Google as a way to find the lowest priced ink cartridges in Ireland is still your best bet when you consider the market share they have of the search engines currently available. Searching for a particular brand of ink cartridge such as Epson will narrow your search even further and further again if you insert your printer model or cartridge number. The first priority with most people searching online for inkjet cartridges is the price. The cost of buying either an original brand or a non-original generic cartridge will vary greatly with the best value, unquestionably. When you have researched with what you consider to be the best price then the thing to look for is the cost of delivery.
Sometimes the cost of delivery from the UK to the ROI can be almost as much as the cost of the ink cartridge and even worse it can a week to arrive! You should ideally be looking for an Irish supplier who will deliver at either a very low cost or possibly even offer free delivery. This is not uncommon and does exist in Ireland, sometimes, with an order that is priced above a certain value. Nevertheless, this is worth considering if it will get you free delivery.
Now you have got the best price available, free or low-cost delivery, whatâs next in terms of importance? The quality is surely one of the most important factors to consider when buying your Epson inkjet cartridge or laser toner. How will you know if the quality of the cartridge is as good as the online supplier says it is. A good indication of how the supplier deals with any problem will usually be covered in the returns policy. Some online suppliers offer a no quibble money-back guarantee with their products purely because they are confident enough that if there is an issue with an ink cartridge then they can resolve that issue or offer a refund. In most cases, I suspect that a solution can be found to any issues such as compatibility or a faulty ink cartridge (they will generally offer a replacement). You can always jump onto their Facebook page to see if there are any positive comments about the supplier and how they treat their customers. Because there is the high possibility or repeat business from you as a customer, most reputable online suppliers will do their best to look after you and make you the experience of shopping with them a pleasant one.

How to Find the Best Value Non-Original Ink Cartridges in Ireland?
As we search the web trying to find the very best value no-original ink cartridges in Ireland it can be a worry for original ink users who are buying compatible ink cartridges online for the first time. A few things need to be to taken into consideration before choosing your compatible ink, for example, whether the a non-genuine ink cartridge will be compatible with your printer and if they arenât will your supplier give you an exchange or even a refund? It all really depends on your supplier and any good supplier will clearly indicate what the returns or refund procedure is for any ink cartridges that give a problem. Usually, the first step when you search for ink cartridges using Google, you will be offered the choice of a selection of online suppliers. Some of the suppliers will be advertising with Google and rely on Google picking up on the description you have used in the hope it will lead you to their website. These suppliers will have the words âAdâ or âGoogle Adâ as a heading indication to you that they pay to advertise on Google.
Many online suppliers who use Google Ads to advertise their wares and be associated with the description âink cartridgesâ will appear at the top of the lightly shaded area on page one or may be found on among the âsponsored adsâ on the top right hand side of the page. Itâs good practice to check out all the suppliers on page one and not just select a supplier from the top of the page in the Google sponsored Ads section. Checking out other suppliers further down the page may reveal better deals as these suppliers arenât paying Google to advertise specifically for the description you have asked Google to search. The cost of replacement ink cartridges of the ink cartridges will be the first thing that catches your eye to and as a guide for some of the lower priced compatible cartridges, this should be approximately 70% of the price you would pay for genuine original brand ink cartridges.
The reason for the difference in the price of original brand and â non-original brand ink is because many ink cartridges are manufactured in high volumes in Asia nowadays but are still manufactured to the same ISO standards as the original brand cartridges.
In the recent years there may have been some doubt over the reliability and quality of the no-original compatible cartridge but frequent quality checks and demand for a reliable product has forced manufacturers to pay particular attention to these areas. There is often a variation in the price of the cartridges, depending on the supplier and this may be because some online suppliers are able to bulk buy in larger volumes than others. Having chosen the supplier with the cartridges you require and at the price you want to pay, next take a look at the cost of delivery. If there is a charge for delivery how much is it and how long does it take. Typically the delivery should be within one or two days but if you are buying from a UK website itâs likely to take longer. It can take Royal Mail up to 7 days to deliver ink cartridges to the ROI so buying locally from an Irish website has the advantage of 1 â 2 day delivery by a courier. Good customer support from your supplier is another key element in the process of choosing a compatible ink cartridge supplier.

Search Smartly for Ink Cartridges in Ireland by using Long Tail Search Terms
Using Google is still the best way to find replacement ink cartridges in Ireland. Searching online brings the best deals and by doing a âsmartâ search the chances of finding the best deals are increased considerably. The âsmartâ search involves knowing how to use the search engine most effectively. If you search the term âink cartridgesâ then you are likely to bring up all the suppliers of ink cartridges in Ireland and the UK, if you add the word Ireland to the search you will usually reduce the amount of results to those who are located in Ireland only. Try using a âlong-tailâ search term, i.e. a phrase that incorporates the product you are looking for and also asks a question at the same time. For example, if you require a compatible Canon ink cartridge CLI526 Black, then use a broad search term such as âwhere can I find the cheapest Canon CLI526 Black ink cartridgeâ. This will help Google match your results more accurately with your enquiry.
Original brand Canon inkjet cartridges are very expensive and finding good replacement non-original ink can be a difficult task. Many people are put off by horror stories of compatible and refilled cartridges on the market damaging their printer. A good quality compatible or remanufactured ink cartridge will not damage your printer and give perfectly good results for general every day printing.
The only noticeable difference between a compatible and original brand cartridge would be in the printing of a photo quality image. Also, the life of the print may be in question as after a few years the colours in the printed image may not its strength and the quality may seem to deteriorate slightly over tie. Having said all that, for every day use, the compatible ink cartridge is a great way to save money on printing and many businesses and home users have made the switch.
Canon printers are well know for their print quality and many will have a cartridge breakdown of up to six colours; black, cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan and light magenta. One of the ideas behind this is that it allows you to replace the colours individually as they run out and reduces the cost of having to buy a full set of cartridges. This works fine for those buying original brand Canon cartridges, however, if you buy the compatible ink cartridges online, the deals for a full set of inkjet cartridges will often work out cheaper than buying one or two original brand inks. If you are concerned about the quality of any replacement ink cartridge always contact the supplier before buying and ask what their return policy is or how are you covered if youâre not happy with the ink you have purchased. Some of the more reliable suppliers will offer you a money-back guarantee.

Where can I find cheap canon ink cartridges in Ireland?
The search for the best value ink cartridges does not always generate the same results as the search for the cheapest ink cartridges in Ireland. There are several things to take into account when you search for Canon inkjet cartridges. There is a vast difference between original brand cartridges and compatibles. The Canon ink cartridges will offer you up to 70% discount against original brand and there are plenty of good quality cartridges currently on the market with Irish suppliers.
Canon compatible inks are of a similar quality to the original brand except for the high-resolution photo printers, this is where you may notice a difference in final print quality. For general every day printing both at home and in the office, compatible cartridges should be more than adequate. The range of printer that use the Canon CLI 521 and CLI 526 ink cartridges work perfectly well with the compatible and provides very satisfactory results. If the printer cartridge is very cheap, unboxed and sold without any form of guarantee then it is probably worth steering clear of. Itâs better to pay slightly more for a good quality ink cartridge that will give you more reliability than the very cheapest ink cartridge you find. The on-line supplier where you buy the ink (itâs going to be an on-line supplier who will offer you the best deal) should offer a money back guarantee with all the ink cartridges they supply.
Many on-line suppliers will have multipack deals with their ink cartridges and this will certainly bring down the price of an individual ink cartridge. The Canon CLI8 colour ink cartridges are especially good value printing over 420 pages @ 5% coverage. Canon printers can be bought on-line at budget prices but itâs worth checking the prices of the replacement cartridges before you buy. Try to avoid false economy by buying a cheap printer that uses expensive cartridges, or worse still, a printer that will not work with compatible inks. A good way to search for a reasonably priced printer is to contact an on-line supplier of compatible inks that will sell you a Canon printer (or any other brand for that matter), that is guaranteed to work with compatibles. This supplier will have tried and tested the printer with itâs own range of compatible inks and will stand over any issues that arise with the printer.
