Do you have to do it in Ireland?
If not, i would recommend contacting the London Museum of Matural History or the University of Portsmouth. They both seem to be doing a lot of work related to palaeontology.

The only place in Ireland that I'm aware of that has any significant palaeontology stuff to work with would be our own Natural History Museum. They had some nice fossils at their Dead Zoo At Large exhibit. Although the exhibit's run has now finished (to the best of my knowledge), they may still have some palaeontology related things to do. That said, they may not due
to the museum's ongoing refurbishments.

I also recall students from either UCD or DCU went on a palaeontological excursion to the Shara earlier in the year. They might be worth looking up in case something shows up along those lines.
