    There's a possibility (if you're near dundrum shopping centre) - on the second floor, in the middle (not the ends) there's a gourmet type shop - I think it's owned by Harvey Nichols, they stock the likes of Lucky Charms and other stuff, I've gotten Hello Panda biscuits in there. They *may* have Pocky, but again I can't be sure.

    Anyone know if you can get Pocky anywhere in Ireland/Dublin??

    My sister was looking for these and she ended up ordering a few flavours online. She ended up getting it off some Japanese site she can't remember the name of. She was a little underwhelmed by them once she got a hold of them. I'll be in Harvey Nichols tomorrow nitromaster, if I see them I will let you know :)

    In Europe Pocky was renamed Mikado. Mikado can be found at most supermarkets, as well as at many international food stores
    I have definitely seen those mikado packs, can't recall where though...

    I'd be looking in the asian supermarkets for the original ones.

    The Asian Market on abbey street in Dublin sells the original Pocky for 70c a box (although it is imported from Thailand rather than Japan, but it is the real thing). As koneko mentions jlist sells it online, and you will get all the current "flavours".

    You used to be able to get Pocky in the Asia market on Drury street. Haven't been there for a while, so don't know if it still stocked.
