Have you looking into your medical yet ? The one up in the Mater was a pain in the arse, I finally passed it but cost me near 1k altogether. Also with these zero - hero plans. Be careful with the school you choose, Also never pay up front and even though it says 30k. I can imagine at least another 10-15k on top for the hidden costs and expenses. Then if all goes well and you want to stay in Ireland its going to be another near 30k just to fly with ryanair. Its not an easy road as I'm finding out, But it is enjoyable at times
