    I recently re-started collecting stamps.
    Does anyone know of any stamp fairs in Dublin/Dundalk area?
    Also any pace where I might be able to pick up cheap stamps (eg market stalls etc).
    Thanks.

    Blackrock Market, Co.Dublin http://www.blackrockmarket.com/the-collectors-shop.html and the Market Arcade in South Great George's Street http://www.georgesstreetarcade.ie/dublin-antiques.php would be worth checking out. :)

    The next Coin/Stamp Fair is on Sunday 15th April at the RDS, Anglesea Rd. entrance. Though it doesn't seem to be confirmed yet on the RDS site. Just keep an eye on it.

    Thanks all.
    I know the St Georges Market.
    Have checked out the Blackrock site. Looks like it is open daily.

    Thanks all.
    I was in Dublin last Monday (2nd April). Went on DART to Blackrock but it was closed (weekends only).
    Back in Dublin, I went to St Georges Market but nothing there.
    Easons has cut back on Stamp Accessories. No Albums, hinges etc.
    I have been away from Stamp Collecting since 2001 so I picked up the 2006 Year Pack at GPO. The earliest they have is 2006. In due course will work my way thru 2007-2011.
    Visited Declans shop (moved from my time) and picked up all the used stamps (about 40) that I had sold off after 2001.
    So at least I am in the position I would have been at in 2001.
    Still a big job to pick up the mint stamps 2001-2005 and all of the used stamps 2001-2011 but I will be in Dublin on Sunday so I can hopefully make a decent start.
    Again...thanks.
