    Mm well if it was just a basic one Smyths have them. But for funkier ones there used to be a skater shop across from the Cinema in town or tis more across from the opera house..

    He already has one I'd presume at the kind of level Smyths would have so it's the funkier ones I'm after! Are you saying across the river from the Opera House?

    I see I see, yes tis Bolts sorry the computer jammed https://www.facebook.com/Bolts-Skate-Shop-117377681795528/

    This is saying it is on Kyle street so perhaps there are two.

    The one across from the opera is at to the right of the N Square restaurant there used to be one there..

    So we got to Cork today & got me nephew a board in Repall's. The Spanish guy in there was very pleasant to deal with &, after some humming & hawing from the young fella, we bought one.
    Had a look but Bolts' seems to be no more as a living shop.
    Thanks all for the help.
