Your best bet would be to go to a flight school and then pick up one of the reputed pay 2 fly programs ( I know to some it sounds bad / unethical but that's how things are these days ) , build jet time and then make your way to the major ME carriers.
Also, if you end up on the A320s, with the Irish passport you have, airlines in Vietnam will pick you up instantly. They restrict some nationalities and Yemen I think is also on that list.
China is another market you can penetrate with the Irish passport. Lots and lots of flying there.
Turkish carriers (Pegasus, THY etc) are not far behind if you have enough experience on their required type of aircraft.
Good Luck !!
Thank you very much. I do appreciate it a lot. I hope it goes well for me.
