The Camera is a Canon Ixus 70 - which ia a 7Mega Pixel camera . It is a stylish, very compact, well-built point and shoot digital camera . It was released in 2007 - so it’s not one of the latest models - but it is a good camera and the best price we could find was £129 GBP - or about €155 Euro

Alternatives to Halfords for Irish customers:

If you want to buy In Car SatNav - try Pixmania. Pixmania is the largest electrical online retailer in Europe - and part of the same group of companies as PC World, Dixons and Currys. They deliver to Ireland and prices of Sat Nav systems are cheaper than most Irish shops. They sell the top brands such as Garmin, Tom Tom.
For Hands Free kits for your car - visit Carphone Warehouse who deliver all over Ireland for free.

If you are looking for bikes - try Evans Cycles - they deliver bikes to Ireland (delivery is £25 each) but the prices are cheap and the range of bikes available is much better than Halfords.

Wiggle is another great online bike shop - with free delivery to Ireland on some bikes

For Child Car Seats you can use Kiddicare - delivery to Ireland and Northern Ireland is £19.99 though - so you would need to have a fairly big order to make it worthwhile. They do sell everything you would need for a new baby - pushchairs, buggies, cots etc etc. All the major makes - Britax , Quinny, Bebeconfort,

If you were hoping to do some online shopping at Currys and you live in Ireland - then don’t bother.
Currys are another major retailer that currently don’t offer online shopping in Ireland.
If you live in Northern Ireland or elsewhere in the UK -  you can shop online here at Currys UK site. Currys.ie web site is just a list of shop locations. Currys recently took over all the Dixons stores in Ireland - so don’t bother looking for Dixons.ie either - still no online shopping there either.

In ireland - Currys have shops in Dublin Galway Limerick Sligo , Navan,  Letterkenny Dundalk and Cork. Maybe they will allow orders online in Ireland one day?

For online purchases of electricals in Ireland you should try Pixmania . Pixmania  is the biggest  European online electrical store and it is actually part of the same retail group as Currys , Dixons and PC World.
Pixmania Ireland will deliver to Ireland - everything from Digital Cameras to Dysons, from Tvs to Laptops, Toasters to Juicers, MP3 Players to XBox 360. Delivery prices are not over the top either.
If you are in Northern Ireland - use Pixmania UK.
