If you want to do it properly and put a new one on, then it has to be Toyota's proper parts.

Of course you can do it cheaper by using secondhand ones, but you are risking they are cracked as well. Remember you can see leaking cracks by eye.

BEWARE CHEAP IMITATIONS!!, there are some well-disguised Chinese ones about (eg eBay). These might last 6 months if you are unlucky.

This is the only place i can recommend but im not sure if they post to Ireland, what ever you do though don't get one from ebay as they are cheap copies and will last less than a year.

JOEDRIVE, there is an engineering firm in Bury, Lancashire that does diesel heads. Paul9 has the info about them. Send him a PM, I'm sure he will help.

this is the alternative to a brand new toyota head,but they will supply genuine heads if you ask,always insist on a genuine head gasket,and not the ones that come in the sets,a genuine toyota head set does not include the actual head gasket,this will need to be purchased separatly an extra £40-£50.
