Where to buy good pork belly in Dublin?

dango

I'm looking for some thick pork belly in Dublin city-centre or northside. I've recently found that the pork belly in butchers is very thin, high in meat and low in fat whereas I want plenty of fat to give it flavour. Can anyone recommend a place to get some tasty pork belly?

Or FXB's factory outlet in Rathcoole if that's closer.
Jammed every morning with Eastern European folk buying slabs of pork. Nyom.

Franks pork and bacon butchers on Camden St. They always have it in the window.

i saw some excellent pork belly in a polish butchers in coolmine industrial estate last saturday week, thats probably a bit too far outside the city centre op so maybe try a polish or eastern european butchers in the CC

I'd go easy on that stuff, unless you want to turn into a big, fat piggy yourself.

Plus one for FXB's, they leave the ribs on for you, apparently it helps keep it moist, nom nom nom!

It's in Greenogue Industrial Estate.
When you go off the Naas road at the slip road for Rathcoole, go left at the first roundabout, then straight through two more (the second one looks like the main one into the Ind estate, but don't take it), then right at the next roundabout, then first right and then second right. It is the last unit on your right, with those big plastic curtains that butcher-y places have on the front.

Brady's in Fairview usually have it if thats any use to you. Was lovely last time I bought it
