Anywhere in the general Dublin area where one could buy bales of hay?

    And if so, how expensive is the aforementioned commodity generally going to be?
    Don't want to buy online in case we don't get it on time, need it by next weekend.

    What type of bales do you need? small square/round, what are you intending to feed it to?

    I'd rather not say what the hay is for, I'll be laughed off the board ;)
    Suffice it to say, we're not fussy about the type of bale. I actually assumed in a place like Ireland that it'd be easy to get baled hay but it's proving surprisingly elusive.

    in a normal year it wouldnt be too hard but this year a combination of a bad summer and a long winter has left hay very scarce

    Would straw get you out, or silage or haylege for that matter?

    Straw would be grand, silage almost definitely not.
    Basically, and I realize I'm inviting a world of ridicule here ;) some of my mates want to hold a private alternative to the Barn Dance festival this weekend and one of the ideas is to fill the gaff with hay :p

    As I say, this idea was thrown around randomly and my first thought was "Ireland, sure how hard could it be to find a couple of bales of hay"... Turns out, not as easy as you might think.
    I'll check out the donedeal link above and see what they think of it though

    Straw would do fine so. I've heard of worse party themes!
    Best of luck with your search.

    Any decent farmer would give you a bale or two free.

    just be careful. a few bales of straw and a lit cigerette could lead to trouble.

    in saying that a barn dance is great craic. best of luck with it!
