Where to buy Raspberry Pi in Ireland?

    I was wondering where I would be able to buy a Raspberry Pi in Ireland. I am hoping to be able to buy just the board itself. I have seen them in Maplin as part of kits but I’m not interested in getting more than I require. Where in Ireland can I buy them? Or where online could I purchase them for a reasonable price?

    Try Amazon.

    Maplin really grinds my gears. On the one hand, no-one else has the selection they have in a bricks and mortars kind of way, but things are so expensive. On top of that, they couldnt be bothered having an Irish website, which makes price comparison more difficult.

    I'd love to support them and have bought a lot of things from them, but some of the deals online are seriously tempting. For example, Maplins UK have a Pi starter kit for £79. On Amazon.co.uk is another starter kit for £39. Included in Maplins starter kit is a keyboard and mouse (:rolleyes:) a USB hub, an SD card but no case.

    In the Amazon startup kit you get a B+ Pi(The newest one), a case, heat sinks and wireless adapter.

    I fully agree.

    Adverts IE might have something to suit?


    Have a look!

    You'll probably find it in some independant computer/electronics retailers in the cities I'd imagine. I know there's a shop in Kilkenny that stock the boards as well as kits and arduino related bits and pieces, I'd be surprised if there isn't a bricks and mortar store in Dublin that sells it.
