I'm looking for a reputable contractor to do groundworks & lay tarmac or a resin bonded driveway? Or someone who would do exposed aggregate concrete on our driveway. We need advice on what would suit best on our sloping driveway.

Woodies and B&Q should have a selection of paving stones like this if that is what you are looking for https://www.woodies.ie/kilsaran-classic-paving-flag-curragh-gold-1120208

Not 100% sure if they still sell it but the OH definitely got cornflour in Dunnes before and fairly certain I saw it in Aldi too

Tempo Antiques as far as I know.
You can send them a message and ask. They're friendly and will point you in the right direction if they can't help I'm sure.

There's another place in Woodquay called The Antiques Room.
A friend used them for gold valuation last year and seemed happy.

Check with Dillions in Quay Street, across from Tigh Naughtons if they don't, they will advise you where best to go.
