It's definitely a big jump up from first year. If you're struggling with it now I wouldn't recommend keeping it on. That said, it's a really interesting subject, there's a wide range of topics covered and the lecturers are all really friendly and helpful.0 -

I'm kinda finding it hard in first year but I don't know what else to keep on so I guess I'll just have to work really hard at it

I much preferred French to Irish in first year.
Irish is quite tough in 2nd year.0 -

Not necessarily, I know lots of people who kept those two. Any subject you take will have a lot of reading involved (except for Maths which is just a whole other story) so these two are no different. Plus they also give you a lot of options for your off-campus year.0 -
Also remember that for off-campus placement, an irish placement is mandatory!
So you will have to at least 3 months in a gaelscoil or some other irish speaking environment (if you don't you have to go to the gaeltacht in august for 3 weeks and it costs about €900).
I did my Irish placement from September to Christmas just gone and I absolutely loved it!
I woulda stayed there for life if I could! :P 0 -

And if I do french would it be mandatory to go to France? What do you hope to do after you graduate, if you don't mind me asking? 0 -

Yes, you have to spend at least half your 3rd year in France.
I did the B.Ed. with French as my additional subject. At the moment I'm subbing in primary schools but I teach French grinds for Leaving and Junior Cert students and I run French classes for kids as well.0 -

Did it in heels once after a night out.
Didn't do it a second time. . .0 -

Nerd alert...
I wanted to be able to log onto my account in the library so got my PIN from the desk. But when I type in my details it just comes up 'Sorry, did not recognise your credentials'.
It asks for my 'borrower number'. Am I right in saying that that's my student no?0 -

Your borrower number is your student ID number with a 0 added to the front of it. There's no need for the 0 if your ID number begins with a 1 though.
Might be handy to change your PIN on the computer as well once you're logged in. I couldn't remember the one I got from the desk initially...
