Hi
I checked out delivery prices to Dublin (yes, I am aware is not Galway! But may be useful for price comparison).
The minimum cost for 2 pallets was £100 as far as I remember. You can fit quite a bit of stuff on two pallets, a large object like a sofa would fit on one, and you could fit quite a few smaller objects on the second one as well ie you could get a lot delivered for that price. It's worth it if you're buying a few expensive things, as everything is so much cheaper in Ikea.
