By the time you have hired insured paid ferries fuel and tolls in both directions it would be marginal if you would save any thing at all but more of a headache than paying some one to take there belongings down there safely and properly insured
The government of Eire consider the whole of the island of Ireland to be “Ireland” and residents of Northern Ireland (and descendants of people born in Northern Ireland) are eligible for Irish citizenship, so I don’t see why saying “Southern Ireland” should upset anyone anymore than describing Galway as “Western Ireland”.

99% sure Harry’s right, you’d need a O licence. At the very least i’d think a Restricted O licence as that allows you to carry your own goods but not anyone elses.Usually even 7.5 tonners aren’t rented for private use let alone HGV.The hire company also doesn’t insure such vehicles it’s the hirer’s responsibility to insure it and have an O licence before the rental company will even consider renting it out.
While insurers won’t insure a truck for less than a yearly policy.
I hired a 7.5 tonner and moved with no problems…Other than nearly running someone over(on a corner) because it was a very long wheelbase 7.5 tonner…It was overweight too 
You would have thought I never had an HGV licence!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the goverment of eire wish.
the goverment of northern ireland do not consider it to be ireland as its britain/uk with the postcode for the entire area being BT british territory, hence the retards keep blowing each other up.
its actually representing belfast,but it even covers derry which is 60 miles away hence kicking the jacksie out of it a tad…

Its Ireland, Eire, the republic of Ireland, to some it is know as the free state.
To call it Southern Ireland is akin to saying Southern England is a country.

Not exactly.The government of Eire consider that even I’m a citizen of Eire,rightly based on descent,although I’ve never been to Ireland or NI in my life.While the idea that it doesn’t recognise NI as being British territory would obviously trash the Anglo Irish Treaty of 1920.

Southern England is a thing.
There are geographical terms as well as political terms.

Perhaps using a lower case “s” would satisfy Irish sensitivity,as in southern Ireland?
