Done a search can't find it on the website itself. But follow this link for the search page I was on. Look to for the link for irish sugar In it's decription it writes glucose (dextrose).

Jantkan said not exactly. I can't find a uk/irish based source for dextrose. If it's the same thing I can just buy it a my local store for sfa albeit in smaller quantities. This is quite a relief as everone has told me to run dextrose instead of maltodextrin, something that was easy to get here.

Dextrose is glucose sugar refined from corn starch. Dextrose is a sweetener and a readily available source of energy. Dextrose is produced by the enzyme conversion of corn starch and then refined by ion-exchange demineralization.
