Source for optic corks

Alun

Anyone know a good, cheap source for optic corks here in Ireland? I can get them from various online woodturning suppliers, mainly in the UK, but I have a feeling I'm being ripped off. I imagine there must be companies here who supply to the bar trade, or maybe home brewing suppliers where I could get them much cheaper.

BTW, in case anyone's wondering about the woodworking connection, I use them to make turned bottle stoppers from various bits and pieces left over from other projects. Quick and easy to make and they make great small gifts.

have never got them myself but try your local cash and carry - the bar trade use these c&c aswell.

Just remembered a wood colleague saying something along those lines.
