    Try looking on the other cycling forums like mtbireland or irishdh for a pair of second hand decent forks.
    Second hand Marzocchi MX Comps should be €150 down and are a great quality piece of kit.
    You can go alot cheaper, but honestly there is no point spending €70 on a pair of new cheap forks that barely work. You'd be better off with a pair of Kona P2 rigid forks, one of the best rigid forks around.

    Incase you are thinking of using the Fire Mountain, it won't take a 5" fork for long and certainly won't last if you put a dual crown fork on the frame.
    Jump forks tend to be about 100m anyway, anything above tends to be considered too long. The only difference is the are much stronger than normal 100mm forks, and are much heavier.
    Cheapest, quality ones would be Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 3's at CRC: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=5629
    XC forks will break.
