Empty containers can cost a fortune, it is seriously sometimes cheaper to buy a product and dump it and keep the container. I got big containers of protein powder on www.bulkpowders.co.uk not sure if they sell empty ones anymore. They have oat flour ones here http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/product.php/267/24/ultra_fine_scottish_oats

I also use www.myprotein.co.uk see the link in my signature for a discount on the first order, these only charge £6.95 for up to 25kg to be delivered to Ireland. I see they have 10L ones for only £2.59
check the (mixed) reviews, some are saying 5kg of oat flour fits in a 10L container.

Catering places might have them, I used to get empty tubs from restaurants, homebrew fermentation bins might be a good idea too, but can be pricey, check this forum for homebrew stockists http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=598

Also woodies could well have something suitable.
