    www.dealextreme.com has free delivery to ireland and you can order spare DS screens and stuff.

    Replacement Touch Screen: €5.21 shipped

    Best deal you're gonna get anywhere.. I've ordered loads from that website.

    Cool, thanks.

    I was looking at the site and it states you need a "Tri-Wing Trigram 40mm Screwdriver" to open the DS. Can you use normal tools or do I need to order one of them as well (haven't looked at the screws on DS yet)

    Sorry... No idea... .Check the forums or comments on the products there.. They should have some info there. Post back if you find anything. I can't do a search at work, but may be able to find something later if you are unsuccessful.
