How can I buy a Volkswagen Golf R Estate?

I have my heart set on a Volkswagen Golf R 'Sportwagen' (estate), but it seems Volkswagen Ireland will not be selling them here. Do I have any real options to buy one, given that importing from the UK is prohibitively expensive considering the exchange rate?

Thanks.

Advice needed on Hyundai Santa Fe...
