If you're up to nurturing plants back to their glory, "raid" supermarkets and shops like Heatons and Dealz, they often have plants on special offer that look a bit the worst for wear (mostly because nobody bothers to water them ) but that with a bit of TLC will grow back big and strong and lovely. Some garden centres have bargain corners, too. Otherwise, Lidl has a good selection of plants of various kind (the type changes from week to week). Church sales and car boot sales often have plants on sale as well (usually propagated by someone).

If you can find one near you, though, plant nurseries are probably your best bet, quality/price-wise. Finally, if you're looking for bulbs and seeds, there are a number of places that sell them by catalogue. Mr Middleton in Dublin is one of them, but they also have llllooooooads of bulbs, seeds and plants of various kinds in their shop. (Disclaimer: no affililation whatsoever).

BTW, take a look at these sites, they often have plants going very cheaply or even free of charge:

I have a magnificent christmas cactus in glorious flower... E1.49 from LIDL who have special offers every week or so.

I find the ones in certain woodies stores good value and mine are still thriving. Main thing is to not overwater!

Ikea often have a decent selection of indoor plants, apart from that I'd second Lidl and any of the diy shops like B&Q or Woodies. Johnstown garden centre has a great selection if you're ever in the area.
