Fruit and Vegetable market Smithfield?

I think you're more likely to be knocked down by a forklift than get a kilo of tomatoes!
Having walked past the market almost daily going to work, it appears to be trade-only. The market hall is not at all geared to the public and I've only ever seen things sold by the box, sack or hundredweight. I feel that if you wanted to buy - for example - a box of oranges for football match half time - they might entertain you, but I think you'll be told where to go if you want 200grammes of mushrooms!
Moore St seems to be the closest alternative and is much more user friendly if slightly dearer.

There is no fruit and vegetable market in Smithfield any more (unless you count the Fresh supermarket). I presume you actually mean the Dublin City Council fruit and vegetable markets further east? I don't know why so many people seem to confuse this place with Smithfield!? Anybody can buy there but you'd want to be buying in bulk for most things. However there are some great bargains - e.g. big bags of fresh herbs for €1.50 compared to at least twice that in some retail outlets.
And what's the place in this video which was published last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHhgXNkneeo
