Getting the best rate is a question of "shopping around". The best rate today might not be the best rate tomorrow.

You certainly don't want to convert it into something else and then into ��, Doing that would involve two lots of exchange commission, and you end up with fewer ��.

My understanding (or lack of) is that the � is weak against the $ at the mo so change into sterling

The Euro is quite strong. Or open an Irish bank account with it - they seem to hold up best with interest rates at present.
