    That little off license beside Argos sells them (or used to anyway). Got one for the grandfather a few years ago. Can't remember the name of the place.

    If they don't sell them anymore, Argos may be worth a shot while you are in the area.

    edit: just had a search on Google maps and J&K Walsh is the name of the place. It's not directly beside Argos, right beside Jack and Jones.

    Try Funk It or the You Choose shop perhaps.

    Like the above I reckon Argos will defo have them.

    Honestly, I'm not sure. It looked open the last time I passed it. No shutters over the door or windows and there was a lit window display. I definitely got a good hipflask in there about 4/5 years ago. I remember he had a good range of Swiss Army knives aswell.

    the cobblers in georges court used to have a few, I get my zippo stuff in there and would be my first port of call. They do lots of little nik nacks, like cuff link, tie pins and money clips, fairly sure I've seen hip flasks too. love that shop.

    Not really after a super cheap one, and id rather go with the paper cup idea than buying anything out of funk it.
    Have plenty of options now so thanks:)

    You're dead right, it was the tobacconist shop now that you say it. It was down around that area as well though wasn't it?

    Sorry about that. :o

    Bought one in World Wide Wines out by Ardkeen a year ago......but if you can get one in the 2 euro shop, I'd try there first.
