    Britrail passes

    yea...de site in question was in Dublin. (i.e) which is why i was trying to establish if the Irish were excluded although BRITRAIL info is adamanant " all non-UK residents". So as far as folk buying BritRail passes are concerned, BritRail is likely shooting its itself in both feet.
