    Can't be of much help but all I know is that you really have to "sell" what you've learned over the past three years to them. It's not an interview process that takes any passengers, so really bone up on Irish social policy that would be relevant to the field of Social Work that you would like to work in. I'm sure you know this, but they also insist that you have two years minimum of voluntary experience. So for example, if you've worked with the mentally or physically disabled, talk about the Disability Act and apply it to what you see in your every day experiences of working with the disabled.

    I'm afraid I wouldn't know what exact questions they would ask, I would have gone for it myself last year but I didn't have the voluntary experience. Good luck anyway. :)
