Do a search for ATM, it's a common question.
Find out what your "bank" charges for overseas withdrawals as there is typically a minimum fixed charge for each withdrawal which would make ATM use for small amounts VERY expensive

For a very helpful article about changing money, including what to do BEFORE leaving home to be sure your credit cards and ATM cards will work in Europe, go here: http://tinyurl.com/k3vy6.

If you were going to Florida, and you knew that you were going to want oranges and grapefruits once you got there, would you buy them here and take them with you? or wait until you got there to buy them?
Same with currency from other countries. If you can find any here, it's not because we made it here. Somebody had to pay to transport it here.
Buy your euros there.

We always get 800 to 1000 euro from our bank before leaving the states, and don't notice a whole lot difference in exchange rates. I'm sure we are in the minority,,,but hey..do what you want, it's a personal thing. (CONVENIENCE is a big reason, but others don't see it that way).
WE also use ATM's when overseas...to supplement and when we "run short", but would NEVER depend on ATM's only.
This question ALWAYS opens a "can of worms" on Fodors.......and I think it's kind of fun!
We always charge our hotels! and we don't walk in seedy areas after dark!
Have a great trip!

There's a money exchange right at the airports in Shannon and Dublin and hole in the walls (atm machines) are in most of the larger towns, Ready.
Banks will make the exchange for you but sometimes you need to be a customer.
I agree with all the advice you've been given.
