    Iarnrod Eireann should have plenty let around after renewing their ttrack with concrete sleepers. All you need is a good wrench, and sneak into a railway yard somewhere out west, and theres plenty for the taking.

    Careful though, they're fairly heavy. Baltic Pine or Teak

    I got sleepers about a year ago from the garden center (I think!) on the ashbourne road - just opposite roadstone about 1/2 mile outside the M50. Cost was about €22. They wiegh a tonne but the major problem was getting a chainsaw to cut them to size...The hire shops generally will not hire them due to insurance problems.

    White's Agri past Blakes Cross in Lusk, Co. Dublin

    New pine sleepers - €22.58 inc VAT
    Delivery is €35

    They're not very heavy compared the old-school creosote covered railtrack ones and you can cut them a lot easier too.

    I think their number is (01) 8438521

    There's a decking place between the Red Cow roundabout and Newlands Cross, advertising them at €25 each

    Believe it or not they cut very easily with a circular saw. Chainsaw is messy and much more difficult. Circ saw made for this kind of wood - chainsaw made for live wood... my two cents...
