Where to find mosquito coils in Ireland?

We're planning to go to Finland in July and have been warned about mosquitoes... We're going to get the Boots own brand tropical strength repellent, which worked just fine for us in India. Speaking of India, we also got some mosquito coils there that seemed to be doing wonders against mosquitoes.
I was wondering if anybody knew where to get those green coils in Ireland - amazon.co.uk has some, but the 3rd party seller doesn't ship to the Republic.

try ebay, you will find someone there who ships to Ireland, far easier than trooping all over the place looking for them in the shops...I was in Finland in july/august a good few years ago and we did a reasonable amount of travelling and never noticed a mosquito (maybe we were lucky !!)

Cheers - whereabouts in Finland were you?
We're going to stay in a holiday home on a lake in central Finland - my wife was talking to a Swedish guy recently who stayed in a similar place and who said he'd never seen as many mosquitoes in the same place.

I was staying in a village cottage in India and I had none of the coils handy at that time. I used incense and that did the trick.
