There was one down-stairs in the Eyre Square shopping center, closed now for some time I think. PC World and Curry's carry Apple stuff.

www.galmac.ie on Tuam Road
and
www.screenway.ie near the University (I think).

I find Galmac to be excellent. I have never been to Screenway.

It was just a 3G Store. They were an "authorised Apple reseller". Every time I see that it sounds so pretentious :rolleyes:

PC World have a mini Mac genius bar in-store, having asked them anything but it doesn't look to great, still might be worth a look!

Would Galmac do Macbook case repairs do you know?

I have the crack that has been known to appear on the 13" Macbooks...

I've had trouble with Galmac on numerous occasions - shoddy repairs, bad customer service and unqualified/untrained people working.

Ditto that.

non-unibody MBP - wasn't put back together properly, there's still a 1mm gap all around the front. I lodged a complaint through apple's feedback of authorised resellers/repairers but....

N-U MBP - two screws missing from the base and cd/dvd drive opening bent into a smile...so my feedback had no effect.

It's safe to say I will never use them again, I will never recommend them to anybody

How much research is necessary to find where you can get an iPhone 5?

In a phone shop or from store.apple.com/ie delivered to your door.

Culabula why don't you just close the thread. Poster is obviously not getting it that you don't reopen year old threads.
