Griffith College as far as I know charge large entry fees for mature students too so I would need to look at different colleges, Dun Laoighre for example. Would I need to start from scratch if I did this or could I go straight into second year of an equivalent course?

Im pretty sure you would have to be a mature student on the FIRST year of the course to obtain any MS benefits. 99% sure.
