It was open before Christmas anyway, heard there was a big guards raid. I always miss the raids:/

Thanks @micraX

I guess theres a good chance it would be open tomorrow so, I would be raging if I got up super early and went out but found it closed!
I've been there twice, never seen a raid though!

I've yet to go there and *not* see a raid. Even this morning it got raided just after 9am.

Although it normally opens a week or so after Christmas, January is always a very quiet month.

So? was it open? Did anyone go up?

Yes it was open in Sunday, a lot quieter than in summer months I might wait a while before I go again.
People looking to pay ridiculous prices for decent stuff.
Lots of tools confiscated by Gardai so that was entertaining!

When you say quieter, do you mean as in stall wise or just people/crowd wise

Thinking of doing a car boot sale (selling) in Balbriggan tomorrow, am I mad? I hear the facilities (toilets etc.) are awful but is there a good crowd? Have a lot of stuff to sell for charity.

I was there last week and all I can honestly say is anyone with a bike stolen should go here .its more then likely on sale . Hated it

Its a disgrace that its allowed to be open and run in its current state.

f**king absolutely avoid the kip, its a blight on the area and will continue to be so until some of the traders who are blatantly dealing in stolen goods are banned. They f**k the market up on other traders.

By buying here you are sadly encouraging the local criminal economy needed to supply a small percentage of the stalls.

Does anyone know if the market is open this Weekebd, the Easter Sunday?
Any contact numbers?
