I don't think you need a PCR to travel back to UK. I think an antigen test at around €40 is acceptable then you need 2 pcr tests back in the UK on days 2 and 8

Check the gov.uk website to see what's required then you'll know what to search for

Hi there

At this time, no need to pay for the more expensive PCR test; a negative antigen test is acceptable. At an IMED hospital, €40, results emailed within 10 minutes.

Many other places providing tests also. As Portet states, a quick Google will show the who/what/where 🤪🥂

The OP is looking to come back to the UK  when it is on the green list, your response ref testing on days 2 & 8 are for the current amber status, where quarantine is required, which is not the case when on the green list

My mistake but part of my comment still stands.  

You don't need a PCR to travel back to UK. An antigen test at around €40 is acceptable.
