    They charge much the same, National Flight centre are by far the best as regards training and studying they seem have the back up and study aids and the sim is great too,

    You will probably find nicer looking aeroplanes but don’t be fooled by that,

    I completely disagree, I did mine with Skytrace and they actually care about the student, unlike NFC who are there to suit themselves. I flew with them years ago and gave up because I was treated like a fly that needed swatting. From what I hear from current students they're not much better now.

    I would say Skytrace or Flightwise (no personal experience of Flightwise but I've heard good things about them)

    I wouldn't go with any of them personally. The prices such as skytrace €198 for 60mins flight and 20mins briefing is a total rip off.

    Its a pity there isn't more flying clubs in Ireland. The schools in Weston are practically acting in a cartel.
