There used to be Irish notes which were punts if it was one of these then it isn't accepted by most places and the Republic of Ireland is on the EURO now anyway.
Have had the problem in the past myself when going over from N.I so we just get either Bank of England before we leave or find the first service till when we get of the boat, saves confusing you english people

Owing to the recent £26 million Bank robbery over there, I thought all notes were being recalled and replaced to stop the robbers from spending their loot.

There are about 5 different bank types, they may look funny, but they are legal tender in the UK. Look for the word "sterling".

Quote from BOE
Are Scottish & Irish notes legal tender?
In short ‘No’ these notes are not legal tender; only Bank of England notes are legal tender but only in England and Wales.
The term legal tender does not in itself govern the acceptability of banknotes in transactions. Whether or not notes have legal tender status, their acceptability as a means of payment is essentially a matter for agreement between the parties involved. Legal tender has a very narrow technical meaning in relation to the settlement of debt. If a debtor pays in legal tender the exact amount he owes under the terms of a contract, he has good defence in law if he is subsequently sued for non-payment of the debt. In ordinary everyday transactions, the term ‘legal tender’ has very little practical application.

There seems to be some confusion; there's no such place as 'Ireland'; any 'Punt' notes are from Eire, the Republic of Ireland, who now use 'Euros'.
The notes that youve mentioned come from Northern Ireland. Northern Irish notes are legal tender here, although you dont have to accept them.

P.S. Regards all this 'legal tender' malarky, it seems NO sterling is legal tender in Scotland including Bank of Scotland notes.

well, if it said "bank of belfast" then it was printed on her PC.
we have northern bank etc as stated. i fecking hate having to get BOE notes due to the ignorance on the mainland but c'est la vie! maybe soon we will all be using yo-yo's, sorry, euros and that will clear up the issue.
