The National Aero Club are sponsoring an effort to set up an organisation for general aviation here in Ireland.

God knows it is badly needed, with bureaucrats running riot with their rubber stamps.

The aeroclub website Aeroclub (http://www.aeroclub.ie)
has more info but is currently offline .

Has there been much support for the organisation so far?

Dunno yet, but the people behind it seem very reasonable and it is long overdue.
Sending an email address to them can't hurt too much.
