Try http://www.assistireland.ie/eng/ or http://www.accessdirectory.ie. Your friend's occupational therapist should be able to help also.

My brother bought one for my mum but it has never been successful - the seal on the door never worked properly and leaked. He bought it in Tralee from a standard bath showroom. If I were you I would go for a wet room with a seat and grab rails - much easier solution.
