    How soon is soon and where do you plan on going?

    I don't think alot of countries will accept a damaged passport.. ?

    There's a Shop in Nassau St, Dublin. I can't remember the name but they sell lots of souvenirs/flags/leprechauns etc. They have them downstairs. If you want to splash out get a leather one upstairs in the Stephen's Green centre, again a souvenir shop. They have gold coloured metal corners and take a lot of abuse. I got a green one, but they are available in black and wine as well AFAIK.

    Check wherever they sell wallets and purses. I think I've seen passport covers in one such shop in Eyre Sq shopping centre.

    Or a piece of duct tape?

    They will do an emergency passport while you wait but it is costly, you will need to bring proof of travel.

    Better ring them first to check, then you can go up or DHL it?

    It costs €60 extra and AFAIK will only be done while you wait if you intend to travel that day or the following day. Evidence of travel is obviously required.
