Second-hand charity bookshop with a wide range of general stock.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Ireland is a national charitable organisation that supports people who have experienced brain injuries through strokes, road traffic accidents, falls etc. It has had a bookshop in the small Tipperary town of Cashel since 2012. As well as raising funds, the bookshop provides volunteering opportunities for people with an ABI to help in their rehabilitation. The shop offers a wide range of fiction, from modern popular novels to classics, and also has a good selection of children's books. The non-fiction stock is less extensive, but quite varied. Prices for the books start at only €2. Cashel is just off the M8 motorway. It can be reached by the 245X Dublin-Cork bus service and by the 332 bus from Limerick. Booker T 04.12.24

Large stock of second-hand books at a “boutique bookstore" within this St Vincent de Paul charity shop.
A bookstore (named after an 8th-century monk) opened in 2022 at this SVP outlet. It proved a big success and doubled in size in 2023. More than 8,000 books are now available: new, second-hand and antiquarian. Specialities include books on the local area, church history, railways and military history. The stock is apparently a cut above that to be found in most charity shops. SVP has only a few dedicated book outlets, but they seem to attract good-quality donations. Booker T 23.04.24

Charity bookshop, with quite a large stock. Cash only.
This bookshop, which opened in 2014, supports the work of Catholic charity St Vincent de Paul. There is a fair-sized stock here, the quality is above average and the prices are on the low side. Plenty of fiction and a wide range of non-fiction: history and Irish interest are particular strengths. The shop does not have a card reader, so bring cash. Clonmel, the largest town in Co. Tipperary, is easily reached by bus from Waterford (routes 55 to Limerick and 355 to Cahir provide a frequent service). The 245 bus links Clonmel with Fermoy and Cork. Clonmel railway station is on the Limerick Junction-Waterford line, but the service is infrequent (two trains per day in each direction). Booker T 14.01.25
