Dublin Peelers

Has anyone had any luck getting peelers yet around Dublin? I've tried twice in the last 2 weeks and only got 3! I'm going to the same areas that were successful for me last year, but they're all still hardbacks at the moment. Is the moult starting late this year, or has anyone had success?

I spent half an hour in Wexfor harbour looking for them about 3 weeks ago and got a dozen of them - I wouldn't have thought Dublin would be that far behind...

There are usually a few around Pearse St. but it's said that they are never around when you need them :roll: .
