Should take about a week to get the licence, but wait until you have it before booking lessons.

As for getting a car AND insurance for 2500 at the age of 17, assuming you're male you might have your work cut out for you unless you go for something with a 1.0 or 1.1l engine size.

Check out carzone.ie and see what you can find, look for something that's been recently NCT'ed.

Mind you I had a quick look and you have the likes of this: http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carID=837267
a Punto with no keys

or this: http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carID=835351 if you want to be pulled over constantly

looks like you could have your work cut out for you there, but good luck
