Have you tried Charter Medical in Dublin? I only had to wait a couple weeks for mine. You could also call Dr. Killeen in the Mountjoy Family Practice; he's the same doctor Charter use.

Yes you can complete your training in an EASA ATO in the UK. There's nothing I can think of you'd need to travel back for. Once you sit all 14 exams in the UK you'll be accepted.

The IAA tests for RT during the PPL skills test. You don't sit a separate exam. You might need to enquire how to go about this.

No, an EASA examiner will be fine. Just make sure you notifty the IAA of the skills test. They'll give you the procedure. There are schools across Europe who test under the IAA system using their national CAA examiners.


Finally, give Margaret a call in the IAA licensing department. She's best to contact by phone and is very helpful with any queries you might have.
