    Id say thats a mistake. But like if you accept, i cant see how you wouldn't be allowed in they probably trust the CAO to be kinda foolproof and wouldn't be double checking.

    nono, accept if u want. NUIG do this yoke, I think where if you get an E in higher, they let you away with it. One of the lads got Science in Galway last year after failing hons French

    Have you considered ringing the CAO themselves? (just don't give your details, in case they take it back off you...)

    Or talk to someone from your school, career guidance teacher or something...

    Maybe the requirements were a pass in English OR Irish ?

    They could very well have altered the minimum requirements prior to the offer stage.

    If the requirement changed, you're safe. Otherwise, look at note number two on the back of your CAO offers. Remember seeing this yesterday. Thought it was in the handbook. Took lots of digging before I found it.
    The higher education institution offering a place may, at its absolute discretion, cancel the offer at any time if an error or emission of any kind emerges in the procedure leading to the issue of the offer.

    Accept it, just don't expect them to let you study English.

    Accept it, but you shouldn't have been offered a place. Under NUI rules, and according to the Arts faculty's prospectus, to meet entry requirements, you must pass English, Irish and a third language.

    Do accept, but assume the University unoffers the place before they give a smack to the crowd at the CAO.
