Polish shops I've gone to for them have been really dear, talking >€5.30 for 800g of fruit.   There is a wholesaler in Monaghan that sells 2.5kg for about €10 but they don't deliver to Galway and will only deliver to business addresses in Dublin, ie you've to arrange to be at one of their trade customers to pick up your order.
