    Hi, I'm a relatively recent CPL holder who is interested in doing some GA flying around the Dublin/Leinster area. From googling I see a number of schools and clubs in the area but I'm not sure which ones are active and accepting new pilots. Does anyone have any recommendations for me, I'd be looking to do an hour or two every couple of months so would favour a hire situation over getting deeply involved with a club. I see lots of places advertising self hire on the UK but almost none here.

    My understanding of the insurance setup in Ireland is that clubs are generally the way to go. The memberships tend to be low enough in the scheme of rentals from what I've seen. I'm a PPL student so I could be wrong on some of this, hopefully someone more experienced will also reply.

    I'm in https://funfly.ie/ who have very good airplane availability and a great bunch of people. They have just moved to Clonbullogue airfield, so a longer runway, less than an hour from Dublin (depending on where in Dublin you are), and class G airspace. The Savannah's do get air born in ~100m without much effort and are all basically brand new. Really can't recommend them enough.
