Try Ryanair. There is an Irish JOC/ MCC Course that apparently has links with Ryanair, know a few guys who trained at flying clubs who got in quite quick after doing it.
Took me nearly 3 years to get a job. Made an application and within 2 weeks was told I'd passed and a week after that doing the type rating!
Keep licenses and medical current at all costs. Reading Flight mags and an hour flying VFR a month helped me keep my head in the game.
Good luck
