It's been awhile since I've been there, but I remember a few cool shops (tho some very rather pricey). Great city though, I have fond memories of Dublin. I did just find this info online, hopefully it'll help you on your way.
Freebird Records
5 Cope Street,
Temple Bar,
Dublin 2
Tel: number pending (just relocated)

(New/2nd Hand - CDs & concert tickets ground floor, vinyl upstairs)
- just relocated from near O'Connell Bridge to Temple Bar (where Comet Records used to be). Stocks all music styles. Excellent for hip-hop, plus a good selection of funk/soul and reggae re-issues. Also good for house and techno.
