Just some intesting excerpts.

"Medicine and teaching are two of the few areas bucking the trend. A minimum of 570 points - almost the "perfect" Leaving Cert - is needed for any undergraduate course in medicine. The popularity of teaching also continues to surge, with 470 points required for St Patrick's training college in Dublin and 475 for Mary Immaculate, Limerick."

"However, it is the dramatic points fall in courses linked to building which is the striking feature this year. All five architecture courses are down, with University of Limerick down 20 points to 490. Civil engineering is also down across the board - at NUI Galway by 30 points to 425. At Dublin Institute of Technology, quantity surveying is down 40 points to 400. Construction Management is down by 35 points in both the DIT and Galway-Mayo IT, to 360 and 330 respectively."

"Commerce at NUI Galway has dropped substantially from 390 to 365 while DCU business is down 10 points to 425. Law is down 10 points at Trinity to 535 and at UCD to 500."

Law is down to 535!:D I hope that's not a mistake!

This article mentions points for a couple of other courses.

Edited to add: Aertel (you can check it online) says it will have points on page 740.

Points known so far for ease of reading:

Medicine in all Universities is a minimum of 570.

Primary teaching: Pats = 470, Mary Immaculate = 475

Architecture: Limerick = 490

Civil Engineering: NUIG: 425

Construction Management: DIT = 360; Galway-Mayo IT=330

Engineering (omnibus): UCD = 475; DIT = 390; NUIG = 400; DCU = 340

Physiotherapy: UCD & RCSI = -15 points on last year; Trinity = -10 points on last year.

Nursing: DCU = 365

Arts: UCD = 350

Science: UCD = 300; Trinity 415; Maynooth = 320

Commerce: NUIG = 365

Business: DCU = 425

Law: Trinity = 535; UCD = 500

Computer Science: UCD = 335; DIT = 230
I'm surprised Arts in UCD went up.

When I did my Leaving 4 years ago there was no excitement about it because I was pretty much guaranteed my course. This year a friend of mine is waiting on his course and I'm so bloody nervous for him! It's as if I'm waiting for my own offer!

Best of luck to all!

Edit: In one article it says Mary I is 470 and in another it says 475 so don't take it all as gospel.
