Try looking or asking on Freecycle http://freecycle.org/ you could look at the Waterford one too. Just be aware that it will send you to Wexford in the US, and you can get contacts from people in the US, so be sure you specify Ireland.

Hmmm. Just had a look at the Waterford site, which I'm a member of, and its very slow, and is under new 'management', with only a few offers and wanteds, there are usually several new entries a day so I don't know what the story is.

You could try approaching local builders/ developers for surplus materials that might be in their way in a yard somewhere. They might also consider selling on materials for cash before liquidators etc. move in, just a thought. Any one that has recently built a house will almost always have surplus in the way, not too many in that category.

South east providers (near Blackwater) is where I would go for timber
