    You need a Frozen ATPL (Airline Transport Pilots Licence).

    That involves having a CPL/Multi/IR licence and also have passed the 14 ATPL written examinations - pass mark 75%.

    CPL = Commercial pilots licence.
    Multi = Multi-engine rating.
    IR = Instrument rating.

    A good level of education is required, although nothing exceptional - you don't have to be a college graduate for example.

    The IAA are the licensing authority for pilots in Ireland.http://www.iaa.ie/secondarynavigation/FAQs/showfaqs.asp?FaqID=542.

    Any more questions feel free to ask.
