    Are you in 6th year?If you are it would be impossible to learn all the course work.And think about if you did take it on you would have your Aural in March-ish.Im only basing this if your are in 6th year.4th year onwards would be ideal.

    even if it is possible I would NOT recommend taking it up now.. Italian I've heard is a nice one to pick up in fourth or fifth year

    Nah with languages in particular it would be very hard to pick up quickly.

    What year are you in?

    Japanese is an awesome(and bloody complicated) language. I wouldn't have liked to do it for the LC though.
    Anyway, you can only do the odd languages like Arabic and Russian if it's your first language or something. Arabic is on at the same time as the Irish exams, you know.

    I think if you do arabic you don't have to do irish, since the exam is on at the same time.
