Looked into it myself last year, Got a qoute for between €20,000 to €25,000 just to obtain private license. I think it could cost another €40 - €50k to get a commercial one.
If may be worth looking at doing it abroad, you can get intensive courses and they would be much cheaper then here. A mate of mine is an airline pilot and he did all his training outside of Ireland due to cost.
Another thing to remember when you budget for training is time off work and if you need a minimum of 45(or whatever) hours air time, this doesn't mean you will be ready for your test.
Best of luck .
