    Hi - after some help again please...

    Does anyone know where I can get some Butane gas to refill lighters? Seems the supermarkets don't sell it, and I don't know where else to look!

    TIA :)

    Check the new Dealz (is it open yet?) in Letterkenny dealz they sell them for 1.49 dunno about cork but they might have them.

    Avoid maplin, huge rip off there about 7 euros per can.

    Went into town yesterday. Checked all the stores mentioned with the exception of the place on Camden Quay which I didn't get time to get to.

    NONE of the stores mentioned had any! For those who might be interested, Dealz do not have a licence to sell Butane gas in Cork.

    Thanks for the help guys. The search goes on! :D

    I recently went on this search with success!
    Surprisingly the types of stores that seem to stock it are pound shops!
    So if you're in the city, try the 2 euro shop on oliver plunkett street, or there's another big pound shop on north main street.

    If they don't work then I got mine in the pound shop in Wilton shopping center. I actually got it from the little stalls for 4 euro, but saw it afterwards in the larger pound shop in wilton for 2 euro!

    Thanks for the tip Babo9!

    Got a tip from my SiL that the pound shop in Blackpool SC stocks it. So I beetled round, and lo and behold - there it was!

    Happy Days!:D:D:D
