About Eason at Heuston Station

The branch mirrors many city centre Eason stores, with a solid selection of new releases, local interest titles and stationery items.

Eason caters to everyday readers seeking the latest novels as well as tourists wanting guidebooks and phrasebooks. You can also buy transport cards, cards and small gifts here; the shop does a brisk trade with families heading for the nearby parks and museums.
