Would you not try 11811 (or whatever the Hell it is). I asked for a pizza place that would be opened at 2am and they got one. They might grab one for a pharmacy.

A few years ago they stopped: http://www.independent.ie/national-news/crime-in-the-capital-shuts-all-of-the-24hour-pharmacies-137886.html

If it's that important just go to the feckin' A&E. Worse thing that happens is you get laughed outta there. It's still better than nothing.

I vaguely remember reciting fun bobs "Did you know there is no a single hardware store open after 9pm in Manhattan?" only replacing it with Pharmacies when we couldn't find eye drops one night.

so yea... they all suck and stuff.

Possibly one in a hospital? James's maybe?

Just to add to my above post, if it's just like Lemsip or something along them lines a Petrol station or 24 hour shop might be able to help.

Yeah, a few of the bigger places might have the smaller stuff. But no proper chemist.

They are not allowed. They have to close by 10pm

What a basket case country if there's laws not allowing them to open past 10pm, joke of a place.

In Germany, Italy, Austria etc there is usually a pharmacy in the town or city that you can get 247 service at a hatch at night. You have to pay a service charge for it like €2

The realist in me thinks there would be uproar if a pharmacist was charging for an after hours service. We live in a nation of entitlement.

Entirely untrue. Did you hear that somewhere or make it up?

There are none anymore as they kept getting robbed - there were a few. There's already a 12pm example given here but there are others.

I thought the Government introduced laws that they had to be closed by 10pm. Regardless of law or no law. Having a single pharmacy open until 12pm in a city of 1.3m people is a bit bizarre.

I have been to cashless pharmacies in continental Europe. Why can't they be cashless here? Refuse to dispense high risk drugs or use an automated machine like in the US? Or have a hatch in the wall like petrol stations?

Did they make any effort to change their business to accommodate the higher risk? You don't see banks getting robbed much anymore as they used their head and put in proper security features.

I would imagine there would be no added risk of opening 24/7 if they actually took the proper precautions ie going cashless or not dispensing certain drugs.

They did - for off licences! Not pharmacies. Why would they have?

No business in Ireland can go cashless yet as too many people use cash and a sizeable number of people do not even have payment cards.

Once the high risk drugs are on the premises there isn't much you can do if someone comes in to get them. Having them in a timecoded seperate room or something is an insane infrastructure cost. Hatch in the wall is infrastructure costs - not even possible in the buildings most pharmacies are in.

Automated machine would not be legal - many more drugs are available without a pharmacist involved in the US than here.

They did, and that;s why they closed. Not financially viable for the limited profits available that late. Banks can't operate at all without security; its much less of an issue for pharmacies during the day.

None of the ones you've proposed are even vaguely practical, so no, there is going to be a risk.

Out of the way a bit, but Boots in Roselawn Shopping Centre D15 open till midnight Mon-Fri. It's a hack after 9pm afaik.

IIRC they stopped opening late at night because they couldn't get reasonable instance cover. There was an attempt to get the HSE to insure a single pharmacy in each area (on a rotating basis) but nothing came of it.

Also FWIW, Rockfield at Balally Luas is open 8am to 10pm 365 days a year. Across the road, McCabes in Dundrum TC is open till 11pm.

On the northside, Corrigan's on the Malahide Road, at the junction with Griffith Avenue (not far past Marino) are open 8.00am to 10.00pm Monday to Sat and 10.30am to 7.00pm on Sundays,
