Alright lads,
im on the lookout for a good quality shaving brush and am looking for advice.
Im in Ireland, but dont worry, we have a postal service
Im looking to spend in and around $200 or 150ish euro.
Not sure if it makes any difference, but i use a shaving scuttle for lathering up.
I look forward to the replies

Black Anvil is a wonderful option. Another favorite artisan of mine is Leonidam Shaving Brushes, but their final price with knot is closer to 200-ish euro, depending on the handle selection.
You could also consider Shavemac 2 band badger brushes. Another option would be to order a handle from an American artisan (Chisel & Hound, Turn n Shave, Wild West Brushworks, etc) and have a knot installed poat delivery as no one ships badger knots from the US to overseas that I know of.

Have you tried a good boar brush? Very inexpensive and extremely utilitarian.
Semogue has a great selection of them.
They also offer some very good 2-Band brushes if you don't like boar.
As Wim has suggested, the Chubby 2 synthetic is a very nice option.
It all depends on what you are looking for in a brush. Too many options to choose from.
Good luck.
