Well Im not from Cork though I as down there giging on thursday if that counts!
It all really depends on what you want to do musicaly but seeing as this is a dance music forum Im gonna assume you want to do club music.

That being the case all you really need for starters is a pc (preferably not with to much other **** on it like file sharing programs ect. and a good virus checker is important if your using the net on the same pc regularly).

A half decent soundcard (not an audigy/soundblaster type thingy if you can avoid it).
The are are plenty of cheap really good soundcards out there now with nice quality ad/da converters.
O and make sure the soundcard has midi capabilities for using your midi keyboard with to trigger sounds within your software (though a keyboard isnt essential).

Then basically all you need is Cubase and a few vstis (virtual instruments that work within Cubase) and hey presto, your making dance music
You could also get Reason which alot of people swear by, just not my prefered route.
I hope this helps and if ye have any further questions feel free to ask.
