It doesn't seem to work this way, it looks like you need to do it separately.

I just had a look at it for DUB-JFK-DUB and it puts up all the availability, including flights like DUB-MAN-JFK and I can see BA services in among them as well.

Searching ORK-JFK-ORK just to see what happened brought up nothing at all, but searching ORK-LHR-ORK for the same dates brought up plenty of availability. So maybe it does not do connecting flights out of Cork at all. You'll have to check to be definitive but it looks to me like you'll need to do separate bookings.
