CAA PPL to EASA fATPL

Hi,

I have recently began working towards gaining my PPL (I am about 10 hours in). I am very much enjoying it, so seriously looking at a career flying.
I have an Irish passport as well as my native British one. Because of this, I am wondering if it is possible to gain an EASA MEIR CPL etc. in Europe after gaining my CAA PPL. It is cheaper to complete training within Europe, and I assume that there are more employment opportunities as there are more airlines based within Europe then the UK.
From the little look on google that i have had, I think that if I get 100 hours, and jump through a few hoops (2 theory exams and skill test) I can apply to change my license to an EASA PPL. Is this the only way to be able to continue training? Would this be worth doing?

Thanks in advance for your help
