Thanks!

The cost is estimated at more than £50m, but I don't know if that will be born by the UK as a whole, of partly by Northern Ireland, since it'll largely be a policing bill: http://www.u.tv/News/Villiers-defends-G8-security-bill/8229ffe8-6710-422e-b9d4-c7a6b2ebabd1

Whatever it is it I guess will be similar to the bill US taxpayers cough up for the Africa trip which is estimated to be c. $100 million.
