I think the air corps are taking applications at the moment, have a look, a great career, free flying and you'll come out the other end with great experience. Aer Lingus cadetship should be opening around August or September too.
Failing that, if you can't afford to begin your flight training, either get an apprenticeship you're interested in or else go on to third level education, again I'd advise to choose a course that interests you.
And failing that, start working and save save save.
