I know Whelans Cameras on O'Connell street frames jerseys. I'd imagine Thomas Street Framing (Below Carlton coffee) would do it too. No experience of either i am afraid but it won't be cheap.

As above, it does cost a bit. I've three hanging downstairs. 2 of which I did myself. Now, I'm a designer so 'handy' at DIY... I basically bought a standard large frame (bout 35/40 quid, some pins in hickeys, got a sheet of hard card to wrap the jersey round and pin to... But the only tricky part is making the frame 'deeper' to house the jersey.

Remove the backing, add a frame of inch thick wood all round (I taped mine with black duct tape to match the black outer frame) insert jersey and staple the backing on.

Like I said, I've a few tools, screws, tapes and paints which meant the additional work costed about a tenner. So I haven't spent over 50 quid on each one. Which reminds me, I've a canvas print to stretch and frame today as a pressie.

I hear that a professional framed jersey job can cost over 200 euro.

Madness in my opinion.

My mates dad, Kevin cummins has a framing place on post office lane (near GPO). There's a guy in castletroy shopping centre too I think?
