There's a theatre course in Stiofan Naofa. They don't do theatre makeup or SFX makeup but the woman who runs the course is very nice. She knows loads of people so I'd imagine she could put you in contact with someone. The Cork Film Centre might be worth a try as well.

I've never heard of a course that does that type of thing so I'd imagine it would be more volunteering with people who do it rather than learning in a school. There's plenty of people film and rehearsing at weekends and that so if you're willing to much in with things you'll have no problem finding something.

Check St John's College. I think they might have some suitable courses.
