    Hello!

    Just to clarify things for you, if you wish to go back as a mature student then from now would be the perfect time to do so. The course you're looking to do might require you to have completed the leaving cert - you will probably have an interview by the department, so in the interview it might come up as a line of questions (although that doesn't mean it's a requirement, just that they'd be interested to know you ability despite not doing the LC). But it isn't always required, so you might have to do the one year pre-college course.

    Might be worth flicking through one of the stickies at the top of the forum page for some basic information. But if there's anything more specific, please feel free to ask :)
