The short answer to your question is: no. Unfortunately, once you're in postgraduate study there are few grants available. And none for part time study. There are stipends etc for research MSc and PhD degrees, but nothing for HDip, taught MAs and so on.

You will be able to reclaim tax back on your fees from the Revenue - give them a ring and they'll update you with the details. Aside from that as a part time student working in a full time job you're entitled to nothing, sorry to say.
