    Do you have a proper butcher near you? They may be worth a shot.

    I get my bird from a local butcher - who in turn sources the birds from a local breeder. I also get him to throw me in a few extra sets of giblets & carcasses for making soup too.

    You'd probably need to order your turkey from the butcher in advance though.

    I don't know about Dublin but in general any good butchers will provide nice fresh ones. You do need to order in advance though. I know a lot of people are placing their orders in the next week or so. It's so much less hassle if you can just forget about it until you have to collect it. (Having said that, Mammy orders and collects the turkey, so what do I know!)

    My family order our turkey and ham from our local butcher in advance, then my Dad goes to collect it on Christmas Eve. They usually provide, tea, coffee and bacon sambos for the queue. Apparently it's all very nice :)

    Our local butcher would be Lawlors on the Upr Rathmines Rd. I think the order is being placed this week.
