Oh hey, I used to live in Ireland!

I used a manual pump,both babies. Like yourself I wasnt going to be pumping often. Just when I went out....and only places where feeding on the breast wasnt easy. My friends and familys houses...Id just use a blanket or cloak. So the price of an electric pump was just too much for such little use. Also I found the electric pumps pinched a little. So the manual pump allowed me to pump at my own pace.
Brand didnt make much difference either time...
So I plan to get another one this time!

You may want to check with your insurance company first because if you're in the US you should be able to get a free or rental electric pump. Even if you're not going to pump that often at least that will save you money and time.

I used the Medela Harmony Manual Pump and LOVED it. I will be buying another one this time.
