have you tried going on Amazon? A friend of mine had also been looking for Elmo recently and couldn't find him. In saying that, I bought a pair of Elmo slippers for my daughter in Dunnes recently. I didn't look to see if they had teddies but they certainly had the other Sesame St. merchandise.
mrsobrien your a star just after logging onto amazon the rane is quiet good and il make sure and check out dunnes aswell thanks again guys really appericate it
Not every Smyths is the same. The one in the City Centre doesn't have as much toys as the one in Swords etc. So I wouldn't brush them aside cause you tried one of their (many) stores Amazon is good either way as long as it doesn't incl. shipping fees.
