    There is no way of getting into the NUI colleges (NUIG, NUIM, UCC, UCD) with foundation Irish.. they only accept a D3 at ordinary level and thats it! If your doing foundation you can't go there at all.. for any courses, as you need Irish for every course even if its not relevant to the course!

    TCD, DCU and UL don't accept it either, however you don't need it for matriculation so you can use another subject instead of it.

    Not many Colleges accept it either, they usually only accept foundation maths, but thats only for matriculation, it can't be used towards points.

    A select few colleges do accept it though! AIT for example accepts it but only at a B2 level.

    I'm studying foundation Irish.. and i'm going to DCU.. I took on Religion as an extra subject just to cover for it.. it really is a pointless subject(foundation).. I really wouldn't study it if I were you.. prioritise other subjects instead!
