Tried Mick Wallaces italian spot a few years ago...never again!

The parents wouldn't be as lively in the legs as yesteryear....it's a pity there isn't better eateries around the stadium

The Cheese Pantry in Drumcondra is a decent spot, just across the road from St. Pats teacher training college AFAIR.

Full Irish for €8, bagels, omlettesd, waffles and porridge also available. And they stock an Irish red wine from a vineyard in Lusk, Co Dublin!

I normally hop on the Luas at Heuston and get off at Connolly. Nice little Cafe/Restaurant right there under the rail bridge. Full Irish, friendly staff, I always leave a tipp which is a good sign. Short walk to Croke park, straight in if I have a premium, if not, then The Red Parrot. What more do you want?

Not sure if they do breakfast but there is a new place on Dorset St. by Eccles St. junction (between Temple Street and Mater) called WJ Kavanagh's. Their sister pub L Mulligan Grocer is a great spot for some decent beers and great food - presume this new place is along the same lines.

For the replay you could do worse than the carvery at The Maples on Iona Road, usually not too packed, nice grub and only about 15min walk to stadium.
