Okay I was in the local secondary school and crisp sandwiches were really popular in those times, I remember some girls even using their bus fare too get this lovely lunch. I suppose you would need to walk home and get the exercise if you ate that many crisp sandwiches! Anyway, Lynam's is the local newsagent/ convenience store for the local school and the locals around Lower Goatstown. It has all the usual things a newsagent has but this one is special because it also has a post office! Yes, that's right this shop has that very Irish multifunction thing going on and very handy it is too!

There was roasted butternut squash, feta and caramelised onion on it. Their breakfast pizza was pretty impressive too. If Lynams keep on this track, they'll be the Mortons or Donnybrook Fair of Goatstown. The shop also doubles as a post office which is always a bonus. We went away with a nice Chablis and Fleurie, both of which were lovely wines. The area is lucky to have Lynams, it's not your average newsagent.

They recently did the place up and expanded into the premises next door; now they have a shiny new deli and a comfy sit-down/cafe area. My only real issue with this place is that I have gone in there a number of times looking for something only to find that they have run out or just don't stock it. For example. they sell hotdogs but they don't stock hotdog buns at all.

I pop in here most days, so it's mad that I haven't reviewed it yet!…read more Staff are pleasant, they do lots of special offers, but a lot of their produce is more expensive than Tesco or Lidl. Their deli is very impressive, their wraps, sandwiches, salads are very fresh and good value. They also make fresh pizzas, but I haven't tried them yet. They have an ATM at the back of the store, but this is often out of service, but there is an outdoor ATM just up the road a little (a minute's walk or less). They've got groceries, off-license, newspapers/magazines, lottery, almost anything you could want, but I wouldn't do a full weekly shop here! They are open 24 hours, which adds a star for me!

The store is huge with up to forty aisles all stocked with a colossal assortment of diverse goods to hopefully pander to your every need. The store is so big that I was at a loss trying to find toothpicks on one occasion, having carried out a far-reaching search I approached the customer services desk who were able to look up 'Toothpicks' on their system and tell me exactly which aisle number the toothpicks resided in as well as how many shelves from the top they were on. I was delighted by this considerate and very beneficial service. I was happy that my request was not met by a groan but instead empathetic understanding that owing to the large size of the store it is inevitable that a new customer would have difficulty tracking down every pernickety thing they were looking for. This store can really pride itself on possessing a plentiful amount of stock. On one shopping trip I was able to buy all the toiletries I required for my last term at university, a memory card reader and a hammer. Such a versatile range of goods under one roof can only be a good thing, helped along commendably by kind and patient staff.

Right, you probably need to know a little local history to fully appreciate this place…read more.. On the outside the shop looks like it has been there for years and has that chaotic and bedraggled look of a place that has simply evolved into what it is through eons of additions. The truth is much more interesting. There has been a shop in DL for years called Alexes - the lucky lotto shop- run by a guy named John Highland. John lived and breathed the business to the degree where it was open 24 hours a day and I'll swear he was there 22 of those hours. Alexes is still there but john sold up a few years back, then missed the biz I guess because he opened this place - though he's taking it easier these days, it's only open 21 hours a day... seriously. The selection of papers and magazines is truly astonishing, as indeed it the shops owner!

Avoiding the salads, I made my way to the hot deli counter and paused for thought. A very pleasant lady asked me what I would like and, in accordance with my wishes, made me a terrifically unhealthy sandwich. I picked up a cup of coffee and took perch on the complementary seats outside where I could still see the marathon progressing. Enjoying my juicy lunch I eased my conscience saying "Sure maybe I'll run it next year." Good shop though, and a welcome addition to The Oval building.
