    I suspect your teacher is incorrect. Ask to speak to the school guidance counsellor. Also take it on yourself to check with Blackhall Place and Kings Inns. This could be a good opportunity for you to develop skills in information gathering. Good luck

    Trinity don't have Irish as one of their entry requirements, and also view Irish as essentially a foreign language.

    While every other college might list it as part of their minimum requirements for admission, they should have it phrased as follows:
    For all courses in UCD, this must include Irish (unless exempt) and English.

    Basically your teacher is wrong.

    Most school guidance teachers are idiots who will give you wrong information. If you want the right info, look it up yourself tbh.
