So we are trying to increase the audio coverage for the Clan Bar. Last couple of years you had to be within a couple of feet of the speakers at our events to actually hear what was going on, so we have decided to see if we can get about four wall mounted speakers and a PA system set up for next season. The PA will only need to be basic (two mics and output for the four speakers).

Anyone know a good place to start looking for a decent second hand PA and/or speakers? I guess we will be needing wall mounts and cabling as well.

Is there an Irish equivalent of Maplin - www.maplin.co.uk/music/pa-and-live-sound/pa-kits

Yes there is. It's called Maplin located in wellpark business park behind G hotel. Also Garrett Phillips who does the stadium announcements at the sportsground has a lot of experience in this area.

My missus is a second hand PA (well, an ex-secretary) and her sisters are a right couple of speakers. Not sure about wall mounting - and don't get me started on the cabling!

Be no harm to see would they be willing to sponsor them to the clan, if we put there name up on the wall beside the speakers. Everyone loves a bit of advertising!!!
