    I think the place in the Crescent Shopping centre is supposed to be reasonable - its in the outside unit opposite macdonalds. I know you can see the tree first before its netted.
    Not sure of prices though - not bothering this year. Can't justify spending that money on something thats going to be binned just after christmas so the artificial trees are being used this year:D

    Took your advice and sourced a lovely tree in the farmers co-op in Newport for €25! Couldn't believe the difference, just another example of rip off Ireland!

    Got a lovely 7ft+ tree for €35 from a fella on the road from Birdhill to Ballina/Killaloe (about a mile from the old N7 roundabout on the RH side as you head to Killaloe, just a bit past that mobile home crowd). Probably not worth driving all the way out just to save €10/€15, but if you're passing...
