I'd like to have an Enya-type pizzicato arpeggio facility as in songs like "Sail Away (US)- Orinoco Flow (UK)" I've also been seeking an Irish Overton Flute sound as in the Titanic theme by Celine Dion.

The only 'Enya layered choir' I have found is in Omnisphere, but it is a darned expensive synth.

I know there are Enya and Emerald styles, but they are not quite what I'm after.

Not quite what you are after but Native Instruments Session Strings includes several Pizzicato, Staccato and Spiccato sampled sounds

There's a Video on You Tube, although it doesn't strongly demonstrate those features.

This video might demonstrate the Pizzicato slightly better.

For the layered vocal sound, plan on using tens, maybe hundreds of tracks. Why? Read this from Enya:

You need also a big-ol' reverb. Try Ariesverb VST plugin, on the first preset - Temple of the Ancients. Works quite well.
