Get an instructor who is qualified to carry out AON/Quinn assessment. Gives a good discount of insurance with those two companies. Fingal County Council Star Rider course used to give a discount with Carol Nash (not sure if still applies).
Aaron Rider training very good (and can provide a bike for lessons too).

Ive got my test next Friday. Just completed a few 'refresher' / pretest lessons with Jeremy from mrtg.ie

Hats off to the man. He really knows his stuff. Anyone can ride a bike but I walked away knowing a lot more information on motorcycle riding and correct ways to pull off manouvres than what I thought I knew beforehand. Definitely feel more confident going into the test centre now.

Go onto their website. They've instructors everywhere.
