    Hi,
    Anyone have a suggestion where in the city centre I could buy a key to open the ESB meter?

    Woodies, atlantic homecare, O'Tooles on eyre st, basically any DIY or hardware store should have them, can also get a 4 armed multi key for a variety of household applications...

    Pair of narrow pliers does the job nicely.

    i second the narrow pliers. or even a scissors or tweezers if you can get a good grip on them. no point buying one, you only have to give the thing a half turn to open it.

    ESB will send you one out in the mail for free.

    Otherwise, fantastic reason to be on speaking terms with your neighbours. Chances are someone has one you could borrow for 5 minutes.

    I spotted these in Tesco (Not the supermarket, the other place in the Galway Shopping Centre down by the restaurant - homeware?) priced at €2.54.
