    They are easy to gather yourself. For shrimp just drag a net around behind you and for prawn drag it along the side of walls and stones where there is weed attached. There is a season for them enforced since last year. I know of people that approached boatmen in Youghal and bought them by the kilo.
    http://pro-cure.com/store/bait-scent-products/bait-dyes/powder-dyes.html/ are cold setting dyes, one jar will last a lifetime. 1/2 Gallon of glycerine and absolutely tiny pinch of dye powder fixes in about 4weeks but the longer the better.

    Dying them is not an issue but I am not in a position to go get them myself , ideally like you said if I could buy them by the kilo or something would be perfect but I would need to know what boat or who to go too

    Fish mongers is the way to go. Simple technique to preserve and colour them. PM me for more details.
