Need a pull cord switch - Where to buy?

I bought a light fixture from home base for bathroom, merrily fitting it away before I realised that there was no switch to turn the light on and off meaning that if I was just to cable it up it would always be on. After some cursing and moaning at Homebase (yeah ok i should have checked...) I decided to cannibalize…

I bought a light fixture from home base for bathroom, merrily fitting it away before I realised that there was no switch to turn the light on and off meaning that if I was just to cable it up it would always be on. After some cursing and moaning at Homebase (yeah ok i should have checked...) I decided to cannibalize another light fitting to see if I could get something working... After spending an hour or so I got it working but now I want to fix the other light.

I need something like the following

I'm living in Longford but am around Athlone. Is B&Q the best bet?
