First Ireland is the Internet division of our family owned business, which has been established since 1953. We are based in Portstewart on the North Coast of Ireland, close to the Giants Causeway, one of the World's natural wonders.

As a family business it has always been our policy to keep prices low and our level of customer service high. We believe that this personal approach to business attracts loyalty and trust from our customers.

First Ireland sell only brand new goods of perfect quality direct from the relevant manufacturers, we do not sell second quality, reject or second-hand goods. Unfortunately First Ireland cannot give valuations of goods, but will put you in touch with the manufacturer wherever possible. All products should be used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

We use the most up-to-date technology possible to display images of the products shown on the First Ireland website.
