Law Plus- don't need Irish?

njd2010

Sorry it's a silly question but I'm just surprised and it would be a problem if I'm reading this wrong:

Applicants are required to hold at the time of enrolment the Leaving Certificate (or an approved equivalent) with at least grade C3 in two higher level subjects and grade D3 in four ordinary or higher level subjects including Mathematics, Irish or another language; and English.

This is taken from the Law Plus page.

I thought all Law courses needed Irish, but if I'm reading this correctly, as long as I do German it doesn't matter if I fail Irish? I'm in ordinary level and wasn't using it for points anyway, it was a subject I was worried would keep me from getting to do Law since there is a chance I would fail it. Can anyone back this up?

Am I required to have Irish to go to UL?

Answer:

Irish is not part of the minimum requirements. The language requirement is 'Irish or another language and English'. Therefore Irish may be used to satisfy the second language requirement instead of French/German/Spanish etc

Didn't see that, thank you!

I'm so happy!
