    I think you would need to explain why you want to know?

    As far as I know there are only about 10 dairy farmers left in Dublin. Most of them are located in North County Dublin.
    As freedominacup said, there are lots of large tillage farmers based in North County Dublin.

    Think if you explain why you want to know you'll get a better answer. I know a guy in south county Dublin milking 350+....

    There's a dairy farm inside the m50 in castleknock. My uncle is a dairy farmer in Dublin and he can name them all, there like 14.
    Biggest tillage farmer would be country crest or Rodgers, farm about 10,000 acres between the two of them, they do travel to Meath and Louth though.
