    Mugshot have open access (great coffee), but McDonalds have some stupid eircom access card thingy.
    If you're mobile there are a few extremely fast wifi signals in some housing estates on the Johnswell rd.

    Some of the hotels can have it too. Maybe the Hibernian hotel or the Ormond?

    Can anyone actually verify that MacDonagh Junction's WiFi is available and working?
    I've tried personally a few times and connection just timed out each time. Locations tried were all cafés, inside the shopping center and in food court.

    Free wifi from outside Gloria Jeans coffee in McDonagh was still working on monday, even though the shop is closed some time now...
    I think I got wifi from the cafe in the corner (quigleys) beside the bookstore before too on the iPhone.
    The McDonagh wifi itself has never worked for me.

    Makes sense to me in fairness your running a business after all, where exactly is the Grapevine...beside which other business?

    Yep, in fact it's right next door. It's sandwiched between the educational suppliers and abrakebabra. Right across the road from Lanigans.
