I'm working on some electronics which include a sensor for pressure & temperature. It's all working fine for these two. At least I've no reason to doubt the figures presented.

According to the documentation it can calculate the altitude also, by comparing against the pressure at sea level. I'm trying to find a source for the pressure at sea level in Dublin at the moment, but the best I can find is the pressure at Dublin Airport, which isn't sea level.

Can anyone point me at a reference source for current pressure at sea level in Dublin please?

Thanks,

All met stations are adjusted to sea level equivalent pressure so Dublin or Casement would be fine as well
