Theres a spot in dun laoire opposite the dart station as you walk up the hill towards the town on the left hand side. They sell and service life jackets. Cant think of the name though.
I require a tremendous amount of calcium

the place seaniebo is talking about is viking marine.
you could also try western marine dalkey/ lidl nationwide had them not so long ago look around they might still have some.
green marine and marine parts direct will also sort you out.

I picked up mine from ebay (see below). Worked out about 50 euro cheaper than what I could get the same ones here for.

If you are buying an automatic pfd I would strongly recommend that you buy a model with an inflation tube that you can manually inflate also. Problem with an automatic pfd is that you will never know if it's going to malfunction until your in the water.
