thats mad. i have done the trip from tipp to belfast a few times and any possible marginal savings on purchases would be wiped out by the costs of the ticket. it is also far cheaper to drive to Belfast and back. plus, you wont be able to do a massive amount of shopping anyway considering the physical limitations of carting stuff about unless it is high end stuff, which is all cheaper online anyway.
