    Until someone gets back to you with a definite answer, I would say there is a slim chance.
    The only places open yesterday shopping-wise in my home town was garden centres and a single 24 hour Tesco.

    Have you tried ringing them to check?

    Whats the attraction with Argos anyway? its like something out of Poland circa 1980 and tends to be more expensive then other shops

    Which I think is a fucking disgrace.

    I need to phone my car insurance company and they are closed today also.

    I'd love to live in the Amazonian jungle, eat from the trees and stay the fuck away from people.

    Humans have just about pissed me off at this stage :mad:

    It's only a bank holiday so it should be Sunday hours, opens at 12.

    I rang Tallaght and Liffey Valley there for you - no answer from either store so I'd imagine they're closed.

    GET A BILL PHONE

    .....until 12, when they open.

    Why would they be closed on a bank holiday?:confused:

    Way too hungover for logic. OP i'm sure it is open at 12. Jesus, the thoughts of going to Argos in the square now is giving me the fear.

    Ah the square will be pretty much empty at 12, the scum will still be asleep.

    I had to do a job yesterday but discovered that a simple part of a hose connection was missing.
    Ok, bit of a pain but I'll pop up to a nearest garden centre. That will solve me problem in a flash.
    WRONG!!! :mad:
    Had a hell of a job actually finding anywhere open. I eventually found a garden shop open but I had to ask taxi drivers to ask around where there was one open.
    Yesterday, the whole friggin' nation came to a halt! What the fcuk for in this day and age! :mad:

    Interesting thing I noticed. While driving up to the shop which was surrounded by many others (all closed), many other people were thinking they would be open too and were out hunting for something to be actual open.
    Saw many, many frustrated dads/mams/kids been left disappointed because the shops were closed and they all had to drive away again.

    The extreme few that were open yesterday probably had a very good day.
    The ones that were closed, I suspect shot themselves in the foot. They probably lost a small fortune of possible revenue.
    They then probably don't need the money in these current booming times in Ireland. :rolleyes:

    I don't understand why things close on Easter Sunday, it's not like it's a big important holiday? And there are so many non-Catholics in Ireland now that getting staff certainly wouldn't be a problem...

    In the Catholic calendar its a bigger holiday then christmas.

    Also I find that people who complain about shops being closed on Easter Sunday, are people who complain about being in work on Good Friday :D

    I don't. Good friday is just another day to me. Ok, they gave that actual day a fancy name. Whoop-de-do...
    Its just another day for me.

    They could call a day next week "The Hairy Spaghetti Lesbian Munching Day" for all I care.
    I want to be able to get to work, get the taxperson off my back and see that my kids are fed.
    ...Nope, the nation grinds to a halt, food shops are closed, no alcohol, bla... bla...

    And all because of a very ancient bloody book put together for more political reasons than actual faith ones.
    Daftness of the highest order.
