Also, if your in the know, do you know how much they are?

Not sure about anomaly scans as think only mat hospitals do them at least I've never heard of a private clinic that does one ....although there may well be one.
www.babyscan.ie do the 3d/4d scans they are based in swords and Rathgar
Am going for one in Rathgar at 27 weeks
HTH
Edited to say : its about €200

I'd highly recommend Ultrasound Dimensions in Blackrosk. I'd an early dating scan, a nuchal test and 3D scan there and they were brilliant.

I had a big fight with my local hospital about this - they refer private patients for anomaly scan but public patients don't get the opportunity of the scan (even though I had no problem paying for it)
My gp told me rotunda do it - we ended up going to clinic in Blackrock but my gp pointed out that private clinics don't have a qualified radiologist/doctor to sign off that every thing is ok. DP couldn't take day off work for rotunda so we went on a Sunday to Blackrock.
Rotunda would be the best - you don't need to be attending the hospital. i can't remember the name of the doctor in Rotunda who does it - its Fergal something i think. Maybe ring your gp and she might know.
Just edited to say I did find the lady in Blackrock very thorough checking stuff and she did out a little report card for my consultant.

Im Attending OLOL Hosp Drogheda and all i am getting there was my first scan at 13wks, i was very concerned as the 20wk anomaly scan is the most important one in my opinion so i booked the ultrasound dimension clinic in blackrock, it was 165eur and she also printed off some photos in 3D, the lady was extremely and went through every detail with us, you can get this scan from 18 to 24 wks i think.
Best of luck
