Ahh Fellow Irishman<
your post brings very brief memories of the cold, wind and rain of Galway... brrr.. If it is gonna be misrable , I my as well ski....
I think your decision depends on what you want to do with your lic. It is much cheaper to train in the us or overseas. We are taliking thousands of pounds , sorry I mean euros.
If you are looking for good value for thr pound go to (cost of living, traing, exp of instructors) go to NZ several great places to train where you can do it in a reasonable amount of time. (NZ is like a third world country wher they speak english!!)
if you plan on being a professional pilot the us may be the best option. A J1 visa that would let you instruct for a year after you finshed all your ratings.... and build a heap of hours.
Good luck,
RB
Looks like tomorrow is gona be a great powder day for skiing.....
