In Ireland: The sign-up form on its homepage offers 'Republic of Ireland' as a country, and the homepage says its community covers the UK and Ireland.
Our take
Illicit Encounters is a married dating site run by Online Tech Support Limited in London. Its sign-up form lets you choose the Republic of Ireland, and the homepage describes its members as attached adults, plus singles who want a discreet relationship, across the UK and Ireland.
It publishes its prices in a public FAQ, which is unusual, but only in pounds sterling: we found no euro prices. Joining, building a profile and browsing are free. Men need Gold or Gold Plus to read and send messages, while Gold is free for women. Prices are high compared with many sites, and the site explains its charging policy as a way to keep the balance of men and women healthy.
Cancelling renewal is not a button in your account. The help pages say you contact them to cancel auto-renewal up to 48 hours before your membership expires, so plan ahead.
Who runs it: Online Tech Support Limited (London), according to Illicit Encounters's own terms.

Check the current price on their site. Illicit Encounters doesn't show a full price list on a public page we could read, or prices depend on your age, location or the offer of the day. We don't copy prices from other websites.
Illicit Encounters publishes prices in its public FAQ, but only in pounds sterling; we found no euro prices. Your bank may convert the charge and add a fee, so check the final amount before paying.

Cooling-off and refunds: We found no 14-day right of withdrawal in Illicit Encounters' terms. They say all money paid is non-refundable. Its FAQ adds that if it can't supply the service as described, it will consider a refund if you email support within 7 days of purchase, though a full refund may not be possible if you have used the service.
