    Don't know your situation regards your age, education etc. but its great to keep an eye on any entrepreneurial competitions that are running. A lot of them have brilliant prize money and if you have a good idea and put the work in, than you will be in with a good shot of doing well.

    Some to mention are the 'Irish Best Young Entrepreneur Competition' for under 30's (€10,000 prize money at county level alone which isn't competitive at all!). 'Schull' business awards in Galway, any university/college run competitions, 'The Ireland Funds Business Plan competition' and there's a good few more! Don't know what time of the year they are run but the ones that I have mentioned all come with a minimum first prize of €10,000.
