If you are based in London, you will be able to get it from the London Central Mosque near Regents Park (nearest tube: Baker Street).You may even get a free copy if you tell them you wish to learn about it. They also give away free copies of books which elaborate about the texts in the Quran.(such as 'Science and the Quran', 'Miracles in the Quran'- not very sure of exact names)
If you are based anywhere else, just contact the nearest mosque to you and they will be able to help you.
I also have a good version to give away if you are interested.

Go to this link below and they will send you a free copy of the holy Quran in english.
Look at how many people who wrote bad about islam just because you said you are a christain and looking for a copy of the Quran. And they say muslims are not peaceful people. How about at least respecting other people's religion? RESPECT! Do the people at church tell you to disrespect everyone?......
If you can give me an email-or your address I can send you the only copy of the holy Quran in english I have.

You really need to study the whole thing, it is not like Christianity where there are a few, key, passages and a whole lot of padding, in fact the Old Testament and Acts etc in the Bible are pure padding. The quran is much more involved and you probably need a teacher to understand it.
All men are equal, love thy neighbour as thy self aint in there so clear your mind of Christian prejuduce before you start.

A good bookshop. No, I don't mean a 'good book' shop. There was a Penguin version in the early 60s which was not a biased translation. Try a second-hand bookshop.

The Jews and the Christians say, 'We are the sons of Allah and His beloved ones.' Say, 'Why then does He punish you for your sins? Nay, you are mortals from among those He has created.' He forgives whom He pleases and punishes whom He pleases. And to Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and to Him shall be the final return
And they say, 'Be ye Jews or Christians, then you will be rightly guided,' Say, 'Nay, but follow ye the religion of Abraham who was ever inclined to Allah; he was not of those who associated gods with Allah
Surely, those who believe and the Jews and the Christians and the Sabians - whichever party from among these truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds, shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve

Remember that these are translations, and the Quran is only the Quran in Arabic.

I checked one out of my local library. It contained the original text on the left and the translation on the right.

You can read it online, & listen to recitations on this site, which has different traslations available.

You could probably contact an Islamic centre in Ierland & ask them to send you a copy. They'll probably send you one for free. You might have to pay for postage. Good luck!
