    No when I repeated i was 18 and didnt have to bring my parents..although i did 5th and 6th year before that so i dunno if it was cause they knew me or coz i just didnt have to bring them.I dont think you will.They just ask why you want to go to the institute..what you want to do in college...things like that

    My brother looked into repeating there and it was his old secondary school. Decent school, they're trying to make up the numbers to actually have a repeat class atm (Not many people seem to know they offer repeats) so I'd say you'd have no problems getting in anyway!


    thank you!

    the 17a goes from coolock to the ballymun road, bit of a treck from there...maybe 20 minute walk.which isnt that far away. but, you could always link with the 16 bus from there drops you too door


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 234 ✭✭RandomIrl


    if you are near artaine the 20b leaves you about 5-7 minutes away from it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)

    does anyone know anything at all about repeating in cbs in lucan?? cant find anything at all about in on the net!


    I was a 6th year there. From what I hear you cant repeat in Lucan anymore! Kilcock in Co. Kildare seems to be the new place (doubt much Lucan people will head out that way!!). Try Drumcondra, 2 lads I know are going there!


  • Registered Users Posts: 22 toby92


    I know you're able to repeat a single subject but im not sure how it works, could I repeat biology this year and if I do better can I simply put that grade into the points I got last year ?.If this isn't possible then is it easier to repeat or do a ''pre-university'' PLC ? Thanks!
