I did my PPL at NFC and found the standard of instruction to be first class. I would definitely not rule out training at NFC or perhaps the new crowd at weston (Skyways).
Training at Weston has its advantages as you don't have to worry about the condition of the runaway(lots of airfields in Ireland are unserviceable for half the year) and in my opinion you are better equipped with flying in controlled airspace and all the radio work. Professional flight schools like NFC have an abundance of instructors and aircraft enabling you to fly when you want.
Ironically now that i have the PPl i dont think Weston is the best place for general aviation flying post PPL.
