I don't think there is such a thing as "marine" diesel in Eire - certainly cost a lot last time I filled there (2000!).

I haven't sailed there for a few years.
At that time, they sold Green Diesel vat free for farming and marine.
I assume that that has all changed now and as I am sailing there next week so wanted to check on the current position.

green diesel is tax free , usually around €1.00 per litre although aparently we are supposed to declare usage for motive power,

currently road diesel is around € 1.43 p/l

@Billjratt,
\begin{rant}
there is "marine" diesel in Ireland but there is no such a thing/place as "Eire" unless you speak Gaeilge/Gaelic...
\end{rant}

(Eire is the Gaeilge/Gaelic for Ireland. Do you generally refer to Germany as Deutschland? If so I withdraw my rant.)

Good wishes to you all in Lloegr/Sasana.. ^2

Ah, give the poor Sasanach fella a break. No need to be fueling international tensions like that

As Ratbag said, generally available from road tankers,if you have to purchase from a marina pump expect to pay €1.60 inc vat or tell them you will pay the vat privately.....and pay €1.20 or so.

Last time I filled up in Dun Laoghaire marina, last autumn, I paid about €1.10 per litre. This is green (ie duty free) diesel . I would expect similar prices elsewhere in marinas. Where there is no fuel berth, sometimes you can be around when a tanker comes to the fishermen, and pay about €1.00 per litre. Tankers look for a minimum order, often some hundreds of litres.Otherwise up the west coast youmay have to carry road diesel back in containers, about €1.48. To keep in line with EC rules we are expected to make an annual return saying how much was used for propulsion ( no sniggering at the back please, and whatever you do, don't rock the boat)

"Marine Vat Paid Diesel prices in IRELAND"
Makes no difference to the usefulness of the information above, but I believe that all diesel fuel attracts VAT. The difference between red/green and white is that the latter suffers fuel duty at a higher rate.

They do, & when speaking to Germans so do I.

As a courtesy to my many Southern Irish friends, I use Eire when speaking with them to recognize the difference from the north.

Surprisingly, I use Northern Ireland not Ulster (as do most Ulstermen)?

Now on to Nederlanders/Holland/Dutch, do you know the correct terminology?

Then there is England/Great Britain/UK. Could write a book on this one.

Well he started it!

Off Fed or what?

No, he needs to be fueling his wee boat.

Most Irish people like their country to be called Ireland but in the North some are touchy and like to call it Eire, this is because they regard Ireland as comprising two nations.
Northern Ireland is often referred to as 'the Six Counties', Ulster on the other hand has nine, Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan are all part of Ulster.
Hope that helps.

but in the North some are touchy...Northern Ireland is often referred to as 'the Six Counties'

And you can't blame anyone for being confused about an island in which 'the south" is actually further north than "the north".

My only experience was in October 2011 so things may have changed.
- it was green fuel
- we didnt pay any duty
- we had to call somebody on a mobile phone and wait for him to drive down to serve us
- is seemed very cheap at the time, having eaten out and bought Guinness at 4.50 a pint even in the Yacht Club !

My first ever cruise was in September 1970 on a chartered Nicholson 38, we called in to Schull for fuel for which we were charged 4d. per gallon, (less than 1/2 a new penny per litre) this was when Ireland and Britain used the same currency but with different looking coins, (harps instead of kings). The fortnight charter cost £700 divided between seven of us, £50 quid a week.
Ireland used sterling for many decades before inventing the punt and then giving it up for the euro.

Can confirm that you can get green diesel by the jerrycan from a tanker when it is visiting fishing boats. That was in the Republic (just to add another name to the mix).
