Ulster Bank are part of the same banking group as Nat West (RBS) so you could try them...

The only safe way to move actual cash from one country to another is by carrying it yourself. If that is not possible, send it Registered Post - which does guarantee you compensation if it doesn't arrive at the other end. Check the rules - there is usually a maximum amount they will cover, and there may be special rules about cash.

My grandma sent cash in the post and it was stolen, send a cheque?

Cheque, it's more controlled than sending cash

Carry it over in hand luggage. Or, safer still, taped to your chest. Although that might raise eyebrows with the Customs people.
