    Yeah as far as I know you can apply as many years as you want.

    Yes you can. However, if you accept this place, take this course for a year and decide you don't want to do it anymore and apply again, you'll probably have to pay the tuition fees for the first year of the second course.

    Depends where you do it, as well as what course 'it' is. Medicine, Chemistry & Engineering will cost more than English, for example.

    Some colleges allow you a few weeks grace - so that if you are not happy with a course after one or two weeks, you can drop out and keep your full fees entitlement. As well as this, most colleges allow internal transfers, so if you have a place in Trinity but don't want to do that course, you can apply to do another course in Trinity (provided you obtained the original points, and there's a place for you) etc.
