Tips for shopping in Dublin please.

Hi all,
Managed to get a bargain day trip to Dublin in July thanks to Ryan Air. I've never been before so was wondering where to head for to find bargain shopping rather than designer shops. Any tips anyone?
Thanks

The Primarks are huge and called Penneys over there. Thats where I spent most of my time!

There is a big shop called A-Wear in Grafton street, the clothes are great and dirt cheap!
Or if you fancy splashing out hit Brown Thomas and BT2, also in Grafton Street, almost opposite each other.

unfortunately dublin is pratically a copy of any major city in the uK.
try powerscourt townhouse for expensive stuff. and there are some great shops in the temple bar area. but if its baragins you want head for Penneys (primark) clothes are even cheaper than here!
You also have Arnotts and Clearys sometimes good bargains can be had. there is a market as well near christchurch cathedral at weekends.

Go to Avoca on Suffolk Street, it's really great. I spent an absolute fortune in there buying presents for the kids.

if it's raining - jump on the Luas from st stephens green and head for dundrum shopping centre - your usual indoor mall type place , but great if it's raining.

Oh , you've got to try the butlers hot chocolate ............Hmmmmmmmm

How long are ya stayin for? If ur abt for a few days then there are a few markets that may b worth checkin out, plus you could always pop 'up north' too as the train is pretty good, and speedy too!

Forget about the shops. Go to Temple Bar, they'll take your money off you there without any problem and you're sure to have a good time!!!

I got some nice shirts from Boyers and Co.

Just beware of Eastern European beggars on the street with babys. They are out begging while husbands in pub.
