Opening hours, busiest times for Dublin shopping centres, Penneys, Smyths, Argos on final day before Level 5

It's the last day non-essential retail can open for six weeks as Ireland heads into lockdown 2.0.

Penneys, Smyths, Argos and hundreds more shops across Dublin will have to shut their doors from midnight.

Thousands of punters will be heading for some last minute shopping across the country before most retail heads online.

But what if you're working late and can't make it until this evening or tonight?

Well, here are the opening hours for Penneys, Argos and Smyths Toys stores, so you know when you need to get there by.

Smyths opening hours

The toy store has close to uniform hours at its stores but there are a handful that differ.

Most will be open from 9am to 9pm this evening, but Jervis in Dublin, for example, will close at 6pm.

To make sure of the time for your local store then head over to the  opening hours checker right here.

Penneys opening hours

Penneys stores all differ in their opening hours, although the majority will keep their doors open until 10pm tonight.

Waterford Penneys though, for example, will close at 9pm.

The official Primark website has the details for every local shop and even has a ticker counting down the hours until they close for six weeks.

Check that out here.

Argos opening hours

All shops are closing at different times with the latest time 9pm.

You can  check all the stores right here.

And if you are planning on heading to the shops but aren't sure what times will be busy, we have the tool for you.

Google real time can tell you how many people are at your local shop at any one time.

On Tuesday at almost every Penneys and Smyths, the information has said "busier than usual".

How do I check my local store?

It's not too difficult, you will simply have to Google the store where you shop, "Penneys Mary Street", for example.

You will then be able to click on the store and will be given the real time stats as outlined in the picture above.

From there you can check each day as well as how busy it is right now.
