I'd say probably PC World or HMV would be your best option.

If you go the PC World/Currys route then I'd ask over on the big thread on their forum where has stock.

Be forewarned that it is not a very robust device. If you are clumsy then watch out.
The screen breaks easily... Watch a few drop tests on YouTube and you will see.
Handle with care!

Or buy a cover?

I've had mine since they came out here (good few months ago) and I've never had issues with it. Dropped once or twice by accident and screen/back is still perfect - learnt my lesson though and bought a carry cover.

Yeh good advice. Its a good device but performs worse on drop tests than its competitors and screen can't be fixed at all cheaply or easily.
Good others have had a good experience.

Just be careful not to drop it so. Other than that they're great

They are not available in Ireland yet. You have to order it from the Google Play UK Store. Lots of hoops to go through to get it. There's a Nexus 4 and 10 threads around here somewhere as they have the same ordering process.
