But, there isn't any decent skatepark anywhere...
i'm actually living in Cork and i'm looking for all the good spots and skateshops in Ireland ,i would like to introduce here a spanish new brand so iif it's possible i would like to know all the places and skateshops of the country.
i'm thinking about going in a few weeks to killarney or limmerik so can you reply me here listing the limmerik's and killarney's skateshops and spots???

thanks you very much and i hope we will take a ride together in a not very far future.

Hey there,

Welcome to Ireland! I hope you are having a good time! The best way to find the spots is to hook up with the skaters in your area. I am based in Dublin so I do not know any spots in the areas you are enquiring about. If you are up in Dublin let me know....

I hope you find the spots..

I'm not too familiar with Killarney, but from what I've seen it looks ok.
Beside the main train station, there's a place called the ''Outlet Centre''. At the back of this shopping area there's some waxed up ledges, and a few stair sets (possibly a double 3 and a 5 but I'm not really sure) which have some nice handrails too.

There's also a few industrial business centres slightly away from the town centre, which also have some ledges and stairs and stuff, can't remember exactly where they are.

But also look around the town for a while, I've seen some other spots and I'm sure you might too. The town is full of hotels, many of which I'm sure would be good for skating. It's not a great place for skating, but it's pretty good.

As for a skateshop, I've only ever seen one near the town centre and near a café called ''JAM''. I don't think they actually sell skate decks, just stuff like clothes, wax, wheels, bearings, hardware, etc.
