I don't think too many are training in the Republic at the moment. As far as I know, there is no one training on helicopters in Weston currently and the situation might be the same in Cork. Skywest Aviation is the new name of the Eirecopter-Blue Star join-up but things seem to be quite at the moment. Executive Helicopters might have a few undergoing instruction at the moment. The last time I was in Galway I saw one of their R22s out and about. Hopefully the Irish heli-industry is at the bottom of this downturn in business and things will turn around soon. It can't get any worse!
