    You can also get it at the Wellness Centre on Quay Street, just opposite Lyons Cafe.

    Tir na nóg is on Gratten Street, beside EJ's menswear and Cosgrove's is on Old Market Street, beside the statue across from Shoot the Crows.
    Isn't salt just salt though. Sodium chloride (NaCl), regardless of source, be it a salt mine in Poland, the ocean or the Himalayas?

    Just to be pedantic Its market street, old market street is the road that links pearse road and high street.

    Sorry. I'm disgusted with myself. I'm the very one that'd be ribbing Sligonians who reckon they know the town well about not knowing where New Street, Thomas Street, Emmet Place and Charles Street are. Then I mix those two up. Hoist by my own petard :(

    They usually have it in Lidl/Aldi, I imagine it's a lot cheaper than the likes of Tir na nOg!!

    I've seen it in Tír na nOg and its not as expensive as you'd think. I'd prefer to buy local for smaller items like that anyway.

    Not all salts are 100% pure NaCl, table salts including Himalayan are mined and therefore subjected to more processing and most have a iodine taste that is quite bitter. I use Maldon sea salt for everything, (including killing slugs) it has a great texture, it crumbles in your fingers, no need to fiddle around filling mills you use less, so healthier, it is also ethical as no political dissidents are harmed in its manufacture, unlike the "blood salt" used in McDonalds which all comes from slave labour in the Siberian salt mines.
