Hi Moira,
I think I answered a question that you didn't ask. I have also shot in Ireland and the UK with the same Aaton and the frequency was exactly in phase with fluorescent lights (and no bar roll on a tube t.v., either).

So 24fps is a safe film speed and i think that rule should work with regular house florescents and that would be why a 25fps camera would not work in N.A. while being fine with European 50hz systems.
