Buying a replacement screen (or broken laptop of the same make/model for parts - possibly from eBay) and fitting it yourself might be an option. But I would imagine that to pay somebody for parts and labour here in Ireland would cost a few bob alright.
Yes, I would agree with clubman, unless it's a valuable or new machine (under warranty?). Either a self repair (via ebay) or just buy a new one (I would guess a repair would cost half as much). Either way, take a back up of all your data first.
