    Most McDonalds and Burger Kings, a few Spars/Londis/Centras (mostly right in the city centre), the Subways in the Londis stores, most of the petrol stations actually in the city (there's not many).

    Outside the city its basically petrol station hatch service although Texaco Foxhunter has the doors open and hot food 24/7

    It has significantly dwindled from a few years ago - there's no pharmacies, Tesco or Dunnes open 24/7 anymore that I'm aware of.

    I don't think there ever was a 24 hour pharmacy. You'd think there would be the market for it, but apparently not, unless it's a security issue stops anyone doing it.

    I think if your truely unlucky there is a certain point where all the 24 hour shops and take-aways seem to close for a short time for cleaning and so on, as far as I remember its around 5-5.30 and only lasts for a short time.

    Tesco in Dundrum is open 24hrs - but it does close on Xmas, St. Stephens' and Easter etc since the cost of wages would completely outweigh the chance of profit

    Are you sure Tesco Dundrum is still 24hrs? I was over that direction after 12 a few weeks ago and it was closed, quick check of their website says 6am/12am

    A lot of the formerly 24-hour Tescos have recently stopped staying open through the night. Which pisses me off because I love going for random night time adventures

    Its virtually all of them - I was surprised that Roselawn actually still is 24h (http://www.tesco.com/store-locator/ie/?bID=3589)
