I used to just take them from the disposable lighters.

But the proper ones can be got in Porters on Patrick st. The used to be cheap, I'd expect change from 2 bob.
Dont buy them in a jewellers - you'll be fleeced

curly from cork

Murrays ( shooting and fishing type shop ) next to Ulster Bank on Patrick St sell zippo lighters , might be worth a try.

Most garages in Dublin seel them so i guess Cork will be the same, also sell the little fuel canisters.

I paid 1 euro for 6 flints only this week in the garage round the corner from work

The cobbler in douglas court sells flint for zippos there like 2.60 for a 6 pk

As an ex smoker and, consequently, ex zippo user I have a pack of flints left over - 7 left in the pack. PM me name and address and I'll bung 'em in the post to ya for nothing if you wish.

Its great for unusual stuff like that
