    Preferably a shop in Dublin City or southside or Bray.

    Thanks.

    Don't expect to see much.Its essentially a showroom of catalogues.You pick what you want from the catalogue and they go get it for you,a bit like Argos only with no stuff on display:D

    2 things to watch out for with Radionics. The first is that they now have a minimum order of €15, which can be a pain if you only need a few small items, and the other is that the actual stock in Ireland is now considerably lower than it used to be, so you will get a lot of "available for dispatch within 24 hours", which means that it's not in Ireland, and will have to come over from the UK overnight, which is a pain if you are at the trade counter.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    Honestly it's no hassle, I can pop them in the post on Monday no hassle at all.
    Not worth having to spend €15 in radionics just to get half dozen uys or ulgs (that's what they're actually called)
