It's not an area I'm familiar with but the qualifications of the committee members are fairly good.

Pricey courses though!

GPs would not uncommonly come across this in their practice, and refer on as appropriate.

Would you consider contacting some of the GP training schemes (ie GP trainees)? There's a list of contact details for the 14 odd schemes around the country on icgp.ie.
