Go to AAA.com and you can order them online and delivered to you.
Check with your bank for details on your checking account. Our bank has a checking account where one of the perks is a no foreign transaction fee ATM cards. Minimum balance is higher but worth it. Also the bank may not have the Euros in house, but they usually can order them for you. That's how we got ours from our bank. Plus we used the ATM card at the Bank of Ireland with no problems or fees.
We were in Ireland/N. Ireland last fall and I was told that AmEx wasn't accepted much. NOT TRUE! We were there for 3 weeks and used our "no foreign transaction" AmEx about 90% of the time. Used some cash for tour guide tips and a few small places and had to use our Visa card less than half dozen times. Just make sure you tell them to charge in Euros as the CC gives a much better exchange rate than the stores do.
