I got the bolts I needed from the Co-Op superstores thanks again to advice from Chucken1, I feel like a bit of a donkey because I thought that I needed expanding bolts which cost €3.50 - €4 each but Large screw in anchors do the trick just as well and cost only €0.69 each and €0.49 each for the wall plug anyway heres what I did :)
I anchored the piece of 2X4 to the wall using the screw in anchors
marked out the hinges and fitted them
When the gate was hanging I reset the fence post by setting it in concrete, making sure it was level by tension tying it with pegs into the ground to keep the level while setting, I left it like tyhis overnight to set.
The next day I attached the locking bolt and chamferred out a section of the post to put the locking bolt receiver on since the post was round, I then attached a piece of wood using glue and screws, It was really coming together :)
