I don't know anybody in Ireland, cos I haven't been back long enough yet.
When I lived in England, I sent my Penn reels to Mike Simmons, as mentioned above. Excellent work.
All other reels I sent to Nigel Firth, The "Reel Doc". Top Bloke, also excellent work. Let me know if you want his contact details.
