    Best thing to do is buy the shirt and bow tie in marks and sparks and just wear a black suit

    There's a place over the O2 shop in Swords called AB Formal Wear. It's there a few years and is very popular, although I have no personal experience.

    Black Tie on Swords Main Street has closed down but there is a sign in the window saying they are selling off there stock, might be wort checking.

    I would have no problem doing this if I thought there was the remotest possibility I'd ever wear it again:mad:

    Seroiusly I went to black tie events twice in my lifetime. I'm pretty sure this will be the third and last time:rolleyes:

    I've been looking for info on buying an rental tux from Black Tie but there seems to be very little info about.

    Not really that surprising. It had some of the rudest staff I've ever encountered in any store ever.
