Met Office General Aviation vs Skydemon
If you sign up online for the former, it's free. I see you are in Ireland, but if you look at the briefing charts for "low level weather" or "spot winds" they do cover Eire. The TAFs and METARs are listed by UK region, but you can go to global search for Irish airfields and further away by entering ICAO codes.
If prepared to invest in Skydemon, as soon as you put your route in, it will show you not just TAFs and METARs appropriate to route, but also the NOTAMs you should be checking. Then you could even use as in-flight GPS.
If you are just starting, kick off with the Met Office (good learning process), and then when happy decoding, talk to fellow pilots about how they use Skydemon. Someone will be only too pleased to demonstrate what is a great piece of kit.
