Its prob Movie Extras.ie ye heard about

If you're only startin and want actual roles, try a course in acting

I'm sure theres a lot for you to learn, and it helps being around the right people, contacts wise also

Community theatre is a good place to start off

I know absolutely nothing about acting but I would be hugely confident that you shouldn't hedge your bets on the internet......but if you ARE going to.....I'll represent you for 500 quid a week.

Expect similar offers.

This is a fairly reputable course:

http://www.gaietyschool.com/courses/full_time/

Colin Farrell and some others attended it. But obviously many go there and never make any inroads to an acting career. Also, it costs about 6k a year (2 years).

You could also try Trinity. They have a full degree course in acting. Google their website.

Colaiste Dhulaigh do a decent level 7 course. In order to get a proper level 8 qualification though you'd need to move to England to complete the degree (like all Dhulaigh courses).
