Have you tried Dave's tackle in Wexford/Ardcavan, I know he does good crab.
Murphys in Wexford should be able to get you rag.
There is a new shop in Gorey, I would imagine he will soon stock fresh bait.

Try ringing Viking Tackle in Bray, I know lads who buy crab off him, I get rag and lug off him and its always good.

I know you dont want to travel but if you drove to Bray and bought maybe 50 crab and a few hundred rag (Expensive I know) you could have enough bait for a few weeks and only have to make 1 trip every few weeks . . .

I have kept rag alive in the fridge in paper & weed for 2 weeks and crabs for 3 or so in the fridge also . . .
