I don't know what the validation process is now days but if you want to make sure of getting the exams within the validation time frame and at work then get some of the it learned before you start.
Try and contact the flight training providers in Cork about getting set up with exams done distance learning and firstly a medical class 1.
When you pass the exams the company you are working for can provide you as part of the LPC an ATPL check.
You should contact the company about that, I was flying Non scheduled charters for a non Irish airline. Thay provided a JAA /EASA TRE to tick that box.
