The big Lifestyle sports in Blanchardstown centre had a good stock of Footy shirts from all around europe last year and stocked Sporting Fingal's, Wexford Youth's , Shamrock Rovers, Bray Wanderers and one or two others.
Probably the best places to have it as then both have high profiles already
I know for Dublin based supporters of their local team it can be difficult to get merchandise as I know Wexford have bought jerseys to Dublin for Dublin based fans who cant get to home games to often I am sure may other teams have situations like this.

Possibly, but it was considered and investigated in 2004.
The costs associated with a city centre retail location were far too prohibitive at even the most optimistic sales forecasts.
A 500sq ft ground floor space would have required revenue of over €2.5m and a study suggested that was not achieveable

"It's time for the FAI to grow up." John O'Donoghue, Minister for Sport, RTE , Sunday 7 Nov 2004
The Soccer Shop in George's street is closed up, Pat retired and sold the lease back to the landlord.
Found some decent stuff - and not just jerseys but rain jackets, etc. in Sportsmith on Cathedral Street (just off O'Connell Street).
Apparently they supply several LoI players with boots and such
Kom Igen, FCK...
This is a great idea. There are loads of premises at the moment which are going for next to nothing. It would take someone who doesn't need a bank loan to stock the shop to set it up but its a buyers market at the moment....
As an aside - I assume there'll be a shop at the new Lansdowne, and I assume the FAI will have a section in it.
Will therefore be interesting to see :
1) How much (or little) LOI stuff they stock in it, and
2) How much sells to the ROI and RFU crowd.
