Hi Daniel, Cheers for the review! We're delighted to hear that you had a good experience with us!

I want to thank Jules in Pat McDonnell’s Tralee. I have been going to Jules for years now and she never disappoints me. She has chosen colours for every room in my house now and I always love her ideas. I visited her yesterday to pick colours for my kitchen. She spent so much time with me and is so fabulous to deal with. I left a very happy woman knowing exactly what I wanted. Pat McDonnells Tralee are very lucky to have her. From Therese Greaney a very happy customer

A great retailer for paints
Pat Mcdonnell were great retailers to buy from . Their service is excellent and I've found them having the best prices on comparison with others. They offer free delivery within the city which is very convenient and with their vast range of stock , I always buy my paints from them.

Hiya Elaine, Thanks a million for writing such a detailed review! We’re thrilled you had such a positive experience with us! It’s great to hear everything arrived quickly and that you were happy with the pricing. We really appreciate the recommendation!
What an amazing service
What an amazing service. Paint delivered less than 24 hours after I ordered it. Admittedly, whoever delivered it gave it to my next-door neighbour, although my address was clearly written and the number of the house is on the pillar. But he dropped it in to me a few minutes later.

Hi Davida,
Thanks so much for the great feedback. We're delighted you were happy with the speedy delivery! 😊
Apologies for the slight mix-up with the delivery location, but we're happy to hear that it was rectified so quickly. We’ll certainly pass this on to our delivery team to help avoid it happening again.
Thanks again for your support and best of luck with your painting project!
Only ok
Good selection of quality brands but our local store in Blanchardstown employs staff who lack in technical expertise, who cannot give good advice for any out of the ordinary projects and do not refer you to someone who can. Reading the information off the tin to me is not good enough. I’ll be returning to my tried and tested paint shop.
