SIM card in Dublin Airport

We will be landing in Dublin and flying to Paris and then returning to Dublin for 12 days.

I have an unlocked phone. Is there a place in the Dublin airport where you can buy a SIM card that can be used in Ireland and Paris?

No. Irish and French mobile operators are two different animals, You will need a Sim for France in Paris and a Sim for Ireland when in the republic. Especially if you want data.

There is a store in Dublin airport that sells Meteor and Vodafone sim cards but depends on your intended use, Calls and Texts are easy but Data is something different.

Don't worry you'll see it right as you come into the arrivals hall. Lycamobile often has cheap rates but the problem is France is overseas and therefore incurs roaming fees. Another options would be tmobile in the US, you could sign up for a month, free texts, 20 cent calls and ok data.
