    There used to be one in Manor shopping centre, but I'm not sure if that's there anymore. Apart from that I don't think there are any around. You would need to go into either an optician's or chemist like CH or Sam McCauley's to get one done.

    If it's for a passport rather than any other photo id purposes then I wouldn't use the machine even if you can find one. Last time I used one the photos were rejected by passport office as the quality was not good enough. I complained to the company that owned the machine and actually got a refund of the cost.

    Better to go to somewhere like CH or Clearys to get them taken, got them recently in Clearys €10

    Take your own for free and just print them

    I have taken ours for years and used the above but the last time I downloaded a paid app to the phone as we were getting four passports done at once so was handier than transferring them. I printed them in local newsagent but I have previously printed at home on photo paper in black and white and they were grand.
    Saved me about a good few euro

    Kennelly's Chemist (Haven Chemist) on castle Street will do the job for you, they take the image themselves and print it for you there and then

    6 in CH Chemists upstairs. Those booth photos are not accepted for passports.

    The CH machine was broke the day I was there unfortunately :(

    I saw one of those boots recently in Athlone and actually went to the bother of reading all the blurb on it thinking I would not find a reference to passport photos after the company telling me they weren't suitable and refunding even though they were advertised as such. Anyway there was a lot of stuff written on it and down at the very bottom it said suitable for passports which they are clearly not!
