    I'm not familiar with any B&Bs in Tallaght. (There used to be one in Bancroft but I don't know if it's still open, and I wouldn't recommend it-the landlady seemed drunk all the time)

    The Maldron Hotel and The Plaza have good offers on their rooms.
    Usually The Maldron charges €59 a night and I think The Plaza charges €55, plus you've got all the benefits of a hotel, too.

    Hotel prices came down to such an extent in Ireland over the last 3-4 years, that the vast majority of B&Bs were driven out of business. There are still some- but they are rarer than hens teeth anymore.

    hen's teeth: a non-existent phenomenon, as birds do not have teeth.
    This says there are a minimum of 1638 B&Bs in Ireland

    Thats a reduction of over 90% in the past 15 years.
    It was actively promoted as a manner in which particularly rural dwellers, could earn a little off-farm income- and this is reflected in the rural nature of most of the B&Bs still in operation, however the Bord Failte definition of a B&B extends to country homes and purpose built dwellings, which have up to 60 bedrooms (have a look at your own link). In most other countries- these would no longer be classified as B&Bs but rather as 'Inns' or even hotels.
