    or if you know exactly what you want and where they keep it in the shop try Peats in Parnell Street.

    I was in the same boat as the OP (looking for components, and this thread came up in a search), and found that it would be cheaper to order them from an eBay seller in the UK and have them shipped here, rather than driving 20-odd km to Maplin and incurring petrol and M50 charges, or taking the LUAS into the RS shop or Peats.

    Of course, that's just me; OP might live closer to the electronics shops than myself, may need high cost items, or may have other business close to the electronics shops to make the journey worthwhile.

    Just another option.

    I did have a look at Farnell, but there was something like a €7.50 min delivery charge, IIRC.
