Driving to ireland on Saturday, need a Gb sticker?
Discussion
I never have and have seen very very few cars from the north with GB stickers when in the South. As if some Nationalist from the Bogside is going to stick GB stickers on actually.
Yeah your fine without!
Cant help with petrol but last time I was over about two months ago it was pretty much the same as the mainland.

the price of unleaded is around (euro) 1.27-1.35 per litre,just depends on what county your in,
big city's and big towns usually cheapest,small country villages can be quite extortionate though!
wouldn't bother with the GB sticker but might not be a bad idea because a lot of British cars get stopped buy the customs
looking to catch Irish residents and nail them for VRT!!!

www.pumps.ie for the fuel prices, if there's a GB on your (Big Yellow) reg plate (which is a pretty big giveaway anyways), then you don't need a GB sticker. The powers that be have enough trouble tracking down Irish drivers on undeclared UK imports to be worrying about tourists...

Doing the same myself on Sat morning.
No GB plate needed as they are fairly relaxed over there.
However, don't bring your snooper/radar detector as they are illegal there.
Also, beware speeding as they have a telephone number regularly signposted inviting drivers to report speeders!
Some of the new motorways are toll so keep a few euros handy and bring your insurance cert as it will be helpful if you get stopped.

Ireland, or Northern Ireland? There is a difference, you know. Not that you english types seem to have figured that out yet. 
Considering my father is from Cork and my mother from Rosscommon, I think I've got it figured out
