    Woodies (Ennis Road) have a good supply of all the bits and pieces in one place including fire bricks.
    Most other places only had some of the items. If your in the city center then Daly's on William street have most things you will need. Also once thing we have done this winter is to get the Fire Bricks for the back of the fireplace. Our fireplace is only been used for 2 years and is showing lots of bad cracks at the back already. Our chimney sweep guy recommended we put them in to prolong the life of the fire back. They are doing the job great and will save us in the long run.

    To get Fire Fronts can be trickier. Make sure to get a good one that wont fall over. You could always take a photo of your current fireplace in to LivingsStone (Dock Road) or Elm Fireplaces in (EastWay Business park) and see if there is a matching fire front. If not Livingstone have generic ones for €35 which will fit. Just measure up the front of your fireplace.

    You can get the fire grates up at the market on Saturday mornings.
