A lot will depend on where you are based, as most of the organisations are very much Dublin centred

Ones to avoid:
- SFA - they seem to revel in sending lots of dead trees and asking you to pay over the odds for lunch
- BNI - unless you're very lucky it's a total waste of time

The IIA have some good events - Irish Internet Association - Events which would be worth attending, if only to help networking.

Thanks, am interested in those that are based around web design/web development, Is there any international ones that are worth checking out?

There aren't any Irish ones specifically for web dev.. You'll find asp developers, php dev groups, ruby dev groups etc., but nothing which really covers the lot. I think Irish Developer Network ICT Portal - Technology News, Software Events Calendar, Tech Blogs, ICT Jobs Portal & Message Boards for programmers, software developers and ICT professionals in Ireland made an attempt at bringing it all together, but it's always been very M$ oriented

I did see a MySQL group here - The Dublin MySQL Meetup (Dublin) - Meetup.com

Perhaps there's a Web Dev one as well, or someone is interested in setting something up
