Hi Daniel
If you're any where near Dublin you should try and get out to
Weston aerodrome some weekend. There are three Fixed wing Flying schools where you can at least do an intro-flight (you might find you dont actually like it?!)
Get talking to some of the people out there, you can get an idea of whats involved and costs.
If you're outside Dublin check this link for a list of Flying schools through out Ireland:
IAA website
Good luck with it
