If, however, an Irish Rover or Emerald Card is purchased in Northern Ireland the rate may differ slightly because NIR only changes prices of these joint tickets if exchange-rates alter by a large degree. No agent exists in Britain for the sale of the following tickets, all of which can only be obtained from the respective operators. Note that IE is, however, happy to accept Sterling cheques for tickets ordered by post.
