I've spent some time in Dublin, but never have seen any cigar shops. I'm sure there are people on this board from there who can chime in. In general, I have found cigars expensive in the UK and Europe, except for Spain. The dollar has gained strength against the euro, so that will help some.

There is 2 cigars shops that I am aware of in Dublin. One is right next to Trinity College and the Peterson Pipe place. Its just a couple of doors down.
The other one is in the main tourist section on the South side of the River Liffey or however its spelled. I forgot the name of it but the prices of the shops is crazy. The cigar shop is on the 2nd floor of the building its in. Alas, the name escapes me.
And yes, the prices are outrageous so be prepared. I was buying the sticks like h Upmann for around $7.50 Euro back in 2003 to give ya an idea what they was then. I also bought them when Ireland was on the Punt money system. I hope that helps and ya can always pm me for more answers. I'll do the best I can since I have been to the UK a few times.

Have you seen my stapler?
I spent a month in Ireland about 5 years ago and I have been to Fox's on Grafton street. It is on the southeast corner (just across the street from a park called St. Steven's Green; if memory serves correct) and you have to go up some stairs to get to it. It is a wonderful, quiet shop! The prices are high, just as they are in UK. But if you just looking for a nice place to relax and smoke, I highly suggest this shop.
If you have anyother questions about Dublin or Ireland in general, just PM me.
