    That's an authorised reseller rather than an official Apple store. Shop is called CompuB.

    Curry's / PC World in Javis Centre has an Apple section too, for laptops, iPads, etc.

    I don't think there is an Apple shop in Dublin just resellers iConnect (opening times) just opened up on Henry St too if that side of town is better for you. They are aiming to be the biggest resellers in the world so they are probably going to have the biggest range.

    There's none in the Republic of Ireland. We're only good enough to do tax dodges, they couldn't be bothered with retailing to us.

    CompuB is an authorised Apple service centre, I've had work done there under warranty and it was perfect.

    You would want to be fairly committed to insisting on an Apple store for the probably 5 hour round trip! Was at the one in Belfast not so long ago its a pretty good one bigger than a few of the ones in England.

    I bought my last iMac and the iPad Air 2 from CompU in Cork excellent service.

    Would buy my Apple products.

    Have bought from Apple on line excellent. No problems with that either.

    Apple insists on having their apple store in the republic on Grafton street. Apparently they were going to buy the aib branch on Grafton Street for €40 million. As its one of the few buildings on Grafton Street big enough for them. But aib decided the branch was too important to them to sell

    Compbu are premium resellers. They offer the apple service without the dozens of apple staff falling all over you.

    And deliver crap after service. I wouldn't deal with Compub, ever. And the staff in their are totally ignorant of Apple tech issues. Run a mile !

    Why is it that with all the jobs they have here and just announced yet there is still no Apple retail store in the Republic?

    Has to be for tax reasons. I can see no other reason why. Yes we are a small market, but it would be busy, we would be a big enough market to have one store and a handful of staff.

    Maybe they signed an exclusive contract with CompuB and can't compete with them until the contract is up?
