Some are converted, while some are not

Mr Padraig O'Sullivan, Phibsboro, Dublin: "We'll use the converter in the house for bills and things

Mr Padraig O'Sullivan, Phibsboro, Dublin: "We'll use the converter in the house for bills and things. The last changeover was simple enough. This one is a little more complicated, but we'll live with it when it comes."

Ms Fiona Bertz, Dublin: "I'll be taking my converter out to the night-club on New Year's Eve. They should've given more than one for each household, though. My mum's been hogging ours."

Ms Millie O'Rourke, Glasnevin, Dublin: "I didn't get a converter, but my husband's the mathematician."

Mr David Beausang, Foxrock, Dublin: "I'll use my mobile phone. It's easier than carrying a calculator."

Mr John Roycroft, Dundrum, Dublin: "I got a converter. It's very convenient, but I won't use it for long. Soon I'll have a mind map made up of euro."

Ms Siobhan Conway, Maryland, Dublin: "I didn't know you were supposed to get a euro converter. It hasn't even started and I'm tired of it already."

Mr Michael Inglis, Kildare: "I've just moved into a new house so maybe that's why I didn't get a converter. It probably would be handy, but the company I work for has been dealing in euro for the past year so I'll be OK."
