bout 616 euro a BTC.... When today's rate is average is 596.53 euro.

It makes no sense to look at the average price, it's the current price that counts. I like using kraken.com exchange, it gives the best rates of any site I've seen so far. I assume it's available in Ireland using IBAN. Current price: EUR 616.

I don't think he meant an average daily price but rather the average price from all the major exchanges (kranken, bitstamp and so on) at the time that Bitcove asked for 616. today (when i checked they asked for 646 while the average on the big exchanges was 613/614). I think that's what he meant.
I also guess that he knows the major exchanges like kraken and bitstamp (those are the first exchanges everyone comes across, right?) and has his reasons for not using them.

Oh and I never heard of Bitex.ie.. so I can't recommend for or against it.
Personally I wouldn't use anything which isn't well known and has not a big user base and a great track record.
Bitcove.ie seems to be too expensive on top of that, so I wouldn't use that either way.

If you need someone to sell you Bitcoin (on a regular base,) I could do that for the BitcoinAverage exchange rate (+ a 2% fee).
(https://bitcoinaverage.com/#EUR). But only if you can make deposits to a bankaccount. (Just send me a pm if you are interested in that.)

If you prefer to trade on an exchange yourself, there are many, many exchanges out there. Just try some and stick with the one you like the best. Of course there is always the risk that an exchange gets hacked and/or goes bankrupt.

Another option for you might be LocalBitcoins https://localbitcoins.com/.

And there is of Bitsquare, a decentralized Bitcoin exchange https://bitsquare.io/ (still in beta I think, worth to check it out).

Greetings to Ireland,

I use Electrum as my Desktop Wallet which is light, fast, secure and easy to use (and of course free).
https://electrum.org/#home

On Android you could use:
Simple Coin:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btcontract.wallet

CoPay:
https://copay.io/

GreenAddress:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.greenaddress.cordova

GreenBit:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greenaddress.greenbits_android_wallet

They are all free, so you can try them all and just keep the one you like the best.

Hope that helps

Greetings from Germany
