The under 17 rule only applies if you're applying for RACE (as far as I know, you'd need to contact them to be sure though), but if you want to try get some experience to see how you'd get on you could ask some of your local trainers if they'd be willing to take you on, either as an employee or for free on work experience. Then depending on how that goes, you could look into getting an amateur licence for bumpers or point-to-points. That info can be found on the Turf Club website, turfclub.ie
