Lidl have very cheap acrylic paint on sale this week - or if you can find the brand Reeves in an art shop near you you can get a set of 12 small tubes for about 8.99 - they are cheap but not fantastic quality

Dealz and the €2 shops would normally stock them, too. Otherwise try Reads (if they still have their stationery shop downstairs in Nassau Street), too.

Apologies, my post was in reply to the OP... Having said that, the places I mentioned might have the litre bottles too.

Someone else mentioned the arts supplies shop off Capel Street in relation to something else, but they probably would have them, too. Otherwise you could try shops that sell paints and wallpapers.

My apologies,I should have posted in the DIY section.

Not at all, that's not what I meant! I'm just not sure the "pound" shops would have the larger bottles, that's all.

Sorry, it's not sold in bottles rather in tins for painting doors etc.

Mr. Price sell tubs of acrylic for €6.50 at their outlet in Letterkenny... I don't see it listed on their website though. There are 2 in N Dublin, Coolock and Blanchardstown. You could try ringing them
