Thank you for your E-mail.
Your Visa will cover the UK, i.e. England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, but you may need a seperate[sic] Visa for the Republic of Ireland.
I would suggest you check with your nearest Irish Mission.
Great, now you tell me. There will be consequent reductions of some portions of my trip, or a rushed (less than a working week) attempt at obtaining said Republic of Ireland visa.
God damn it.
And oh, seperate is spelt separate. You’re mailing me from the UK consulate for crying out loud.
