    I would advise contacting the department in the college. Most of the maths taught in LC will be fairly irrelevant for CS, so it's not that you'll be starting off on the back foot. Just contact them, convince them you'd like to do the subject, maybe say you just had a bad day (or two) when you sat the maths exam, that you'll work hard, and see what happens. Then if the department gives you the go-ahead there may be a way around the CAO method..

    You have to have the C3 in maths to get into your computer science course in Trinity, as it is a requirement. I applied to Business and Computing in Trinity last year and although I had more than enough points to do the course, I wasn't accepted because I didn't get the required A2 I needed in my maths I only got a B1.

    Hope this helps :D

    You won't be able to circumvent the CAO unless there's an empty space on the course, which is highly unlikely.
    They might allow you to sit a special maths exam for it though. I know it's done in UL if you get the points but not the maths requirement. They might do the same thing.
