Hello Billy

I can't speak for Ireland with customs etc. but a friend of mine moved here in Sept from UK but didnt get most of her personal belongings delivered until Dec. A local transport service based here collected her things which included 4 large pots with established plants in & they arrived mostly intac,t so I don't think its going to be a problem for you. If anything has changed this year post Brexit arrangements it might require more paperwork - but maybe not.

Good Luck with your plans & plants, mine are so important to me.

Cheers

Elinspain

Make enquiries about the specific type of plant that you are bringing into Spain as some non native varieties are banned and are considered to be invasive. I don't know rules and regulations about that type of thing but I imagine they will impose some sort of fine....
