Ireland

[Ftlausa]

I am going to be visiting Ireland this summer for several weeks, and I would love to doing some flying while I am there.  My online research has not been very fruitful in identifying rental options. Does anyone have some suggestions for options?  Thanks.

I'm in Ireland now and haven't seen a single GA aircraft flying. By contrast, I was in Amsterdam last week and saw no less than a dozen flying over the city over a three day period.

GA is pretty small here. There are 2 Mooneys in the country! The Dublin area in particular has a huge area of controlled airspace so you won't see much around the city. Weston Airport a few KM west of Dublin is the main GA airport in the area. There's a company out there that will rent you a C150 or C172 www.nfc.ie but they have pretty strict currency and checkout rules, and it's something like €220 an hour for a 172. If you need any other pointers, let me know.
