Lots of people are looking at purchasing gear at the moment, it may be worth your while lokking at these, all shops deliver in Ireland too:

Loads of offers at I-Canoe in Dublin also:

Great Outdoors in Dublin also have lots of offers, ring them if you have something particular in mind, their website isn't always up to date.

And as Mickey has pointed out elsewhere, shops in Cork have offers too!

And staying on a support local shops theme i should also mention Hillwalkers in Union Chandlery. Been a while since i was in. But they could be worth checking out too.
