    By junk do you mean car scrap yard? There's a graveyard of car's in kilcock, its the biggest scrapyard I know of and about and only about 10 minutes down the M4

    OP: I was also wondering what you meant by "Vintage Junkyard". It's not a term I am familiar with in Ireland but have heard relations in the US use it!
    What items are you looking to find?

    There is a salvage place beside the War Memorial gardens in Islandbridge (near Kilmainham) and they usually have things related to the home etc.

Its for a college project and thought that there could some interesting story that coud be found at one.. If you know of one that fits the bill, id love to hear abour it. It doesnt have to be restricted to dublin.

    Yep I'd say the ones on the Greenhills Rd that Gavin Shels mentioned would be perfect for your film.A friend of mine used to buy loads of bits and bobs in one particular place run by 2 brothers. Sorry name escapes me :confused:
