Astronomy Ireland are run a twice yearly series of Evening Classes in many towns and cities all around the country.More details HERE
As the national astronomy society in Ireland with 3,000 active members and an even bigger public following we receive a lot ofrequests for information like this so we are very keen to provide a listing of every course in Ireland and you can help us bykeeping us up to date on changes or additions so we may keep this website up to date at all times.
Astronomy Ireland takes on people/students for Work Experience. Typically these are young people doing Transition Year studentsbut we also take on people doing FS courses and others. Email office@astronomy.ie or call 086 06 46 555.
There are still some copies of the Astronomy and Space educationsupplement with what to study and where. Be sure you get your copy.

There is an active research community of about 150 Irish astronomers (2007) in the universities of Ireland and D.I.A.S. who canbe contacted at: http://www.arm.ac.uk/asgi
The ASGI holds 2 meetings a year in one of the member institutions, usually around the date of the equinoxes, that last 1 or 2days where short talks on a wide variety of subjects are present and a guest speaker from abroad is usually invite. ASGI also hasan emailing list with notices of meetings, study and job vacancies, etc. Contact the secretary at their website.
