Thinking of planting new black currants what is the best variety for Irish conditions, I would like a bush that gives large currants

I have " Ben lomond " and they are doing quite well.

my sister has a "ben lomand" and got 5lbs of fruit from it mostly small marble sized , branches were breaking under the weight i had to put a pole close to it and tie the branches upto it lots of good rotten sh*t around it is the trick

Ben Lomond as I have mentioned in my book is a good variety and if treated well with plenty manure will give consistently heavy yields.
