list of shops in each town

Paddies have a shop locator on their website

Lads and Spoils probably have something similar

I can handle Dublin city centre and northside

Yeah I'm fairly clued in with Dublin, looking for mid-sized bookies such as all the betpack ones, but in the like of galway and cork.
track, hacketts, terry rogers, bambury in dublin, bruce tullys bar one scattered about the place, mulhollands in galway.
what other mid-sized shops operate in ireland?

One bookie all on his ownsome at Cork track 2night ..............Spar and Costcutters are mid-sized shops and they are plentiful all ova the hills and glens, and towns of Munster.........Supa-Valu are coming to Cork I think soon............somewhere........

feck all 'small' bookies in the southeast

Up north, just Higgins in Limavady, north of Derry.

any links to an online site that lists them?

Did you try redbook.ie or golden-pages or something like that

redbook seems good thanks, both are still a bit out of date unfortunately, showing celtic bookmakers etc
