I take it for the ground, as opposed to for your food? I ask as I'd say the stuff for the ground may be cheaper. Perhaps local DIY places like Woodies?

might be better with ash from the fire (assuming a real fireplace) ...the ash will add grit rather than just defrosting the ground.

Places like International Trading on tramore road would have it. Dont know what size bag you will have to get though.

Irish Int'l Trading on Tramore Rd (mentioned above) definitely do it. Picked up a few bags there last winter at, IIRC, €8-10 for a 25kg bag. Wouldn't be long going through it though...

Sorry to be a pain but how do I get to tramore road? SAy if I am driving out South Link in direction of airport ...

Go to the Kinsale Road Roundabout - go around the roundabout (i.e. go under the flyover) , keep going round and then when you've gone under the flyover a second time take the next exit (heading towards shops). Drive past Harvey Normans and at the crossroads turn left (you'll see Woodies on the right). International Trading is around 400m on the left.

If you miss that roundabout exit , head back towards town, take the left for the Park-and-Ride, then right and that will bring you to the crossroads mentioned above.

It's €8 for a 25kg bag.

Rather than salt how about these instead http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002LWDCE6/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B003G3WTNY&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1DP6T2B3NFQ0XSERQQ4B

Would it be better than sand and salt mix I wonder

More worried about safety than environment at the mo
Is there somethng I can get to spread this evenly?

Callaghans on Ballyhooly Rd. (Just below Dunnes Ballyvolane) have bags of rock salt for 8€ - doesn't say the size in kg on them, but about 3/4 the size of a bag of coal. Cheapest I've found in Cork!

Lidl have them 5e for 5kg

My Dad got a 25kg bag for 8 euros in irish international. If heading east on link take togher exit, turn right to go over the bridge over the link and take a right at the roundabout. Drive past kellehers electrical and its on the right.
