Yes Florida is cheap, but ad steep cost of living, costs of your flights there, visa arrangements and the cost of local transport (you need a car) and you will find out that it is not so cheap afterall.
There are plenty of places in Eastern Europe (Poland/Czech Republic) that are well run modern EASA certified outfits where you will possibly spent less money in total than after a USA adventure.
Upsides are that with cheap Ryanair connections;
- you can visit the FTO's before making a decission
- you do not need a visa
- you do all your training in EASA airspace
- you can do your training truely modular and combine it with a job in Ireland
If you want to have a career in the EU it is important for many operators that you have done your training with an EASA outfit
in EASA airspace. By combining your flighttraining with a job you spread your risk and end up with your bankbalance, well, being more balanced
