Got feedback from the people I was going to get the reel from - they won't mark it gift so these are the charges according to Revenue:

Cost of Reel + Shipping (incl Insurance, etc) = total cost.

Total Cost + 3.5% duty = Revenue Charge

Revenue Charge + 21% VAT = charge to me.

The woman who told me this actually laughed and said before I could;

'Yes, we charge you tax on tax.... hahahaha!!!'.

The total cost from this crowd would be around 134euros. Still not sure if I'll buy here (Ireland) or not.

Thanks for all the feedback/comments.
