To become a lawyer or teacher in this country,you must be competent at both Irish and English(and maths for a teacher).

This is not true. Regardless of the irrelevance of talking about becoming a teacher, there is no such thing as "a lawyer" in Ireland. The Irish matriculation requirement for the Bar, for example, is about the level of the Higher-Level oral exam. You pass it and you need not speak a word of Irish again. Also, being "a lawyer" is increasingly external to the traditional solicitor and barrister roles.

All teaching and law colleges reguire you pass Irish for that very reason. . . except Trinity because of its unionism.

How much do you know about Trinity and unionism? Do you know much about the Provost? A Mayo man, who went to NUIM and has a son named Ciaran? The laws of the College date back to 1592. They're so antiquated and unwieldy that after the Universities Act 1997, TCD needed its own Act passed to accommodate its old laws. Do you know about the Scéim that gives preference for on-campus accommodation to those who agree to promote Gaeilge?

Of course you don't. It's more fun to assume an institution that you know nothing about is old and unionist and those old crusty conservatives in the Law School like Ivana Bacik like nothing more than to beat the natives when they're down. That's why the Law School never appoints anyone with nationalist tendencies such as the last two presidents or the Minister for Finance. Sure what'd a former Chief Justice have to do with those lads anyway? When you intermingle TCD's history with its current rules, you're being oblivious to the fact that institutions might have more important things to do than go about requiring Physics student speak Irish.

You're talking pure and utter shit. Why would spew such bile about something you know nothing about?

Prob not Trinity because the points are a bit high

Oh, that might explain something.

Bitter much?

EDIT: wtf? How did I not see page 3? Let's try to keep this thread as on topic as we can!

Gavin "shels"

Aiming for about 400, only need about 330. One of the courses I'll be putting on my CAO is only 230 points and that's Computer Science in Kevin St DIT.

Yeah they'd probably know better than some random girl on the internet, I'd listen to them over me!

JSK 252

Pharmacy in UCC hopefully. Was 555* this year so I need 570 to be completely safe in case the points increase. I will hopefully get the points if everything goes right this year for me and Im able to calm down and relax ( I suffer from anxiety problems which I havent mentioned before).

Acid_Violet

In making up my mind I'm somewhere between wanting to do music in DIT and English with either French or German in Trinity. I'd need 550 for the latter to be comfortable but I'm just trying to get as high as possible and hope a good leaving will stand to me

Aisling(",)

ive no idea what courses im going to do but at the moment im just hoping i pass everything.way too stresssed so far.
i know a girl who wont be happy unless she gets all a's and b's.ive never seen her get below an a in a test so i woudnt be suprised if she did it.

ordinary_girl

Media Production, most likely in University of Glamorgan. I'm not entirely sure how many points I'll need, as they mention A-Levels and GCSEs.

djcervi

I am hoping to do European Studies with French and Spanish which is 490. Hopefully I'll get it with a bit of study

I think scotland definitly is covered but wales isnt, (or they lied to me at the UCAS stand yesterday)

Piste

decdec456

Aiming for 500+ just to keep options open for changing my course if i hate it:

German with Russian/Italian/Spanish/Film Studies in TCD

English in TCD/

Applied Languages & Intercutural Studies in DCU

Psychology in TCD
