I've already tried all the English-speaking embassies in Dublin, my TDs, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the UNCHR. I haven't gotten a reply from them all yet but I'd like to get something ASAP.

I'm going to try a couple of NGO too, but if there's some other places I should try could you tell me please? I'm available 36hours per week.

Thanks in advance,
Keith

It also will depend on your grades thus far and your level of studies.

I doubt you'll get much "work" - perhaps you should set your sights slightly lower and consider summer internships or summer clerical jobs in offices to get your foot in the door?
