I feel my Irish is very weak also. I had my interview yesterday and I have to say it was really awful. I had no break between the two and found it hard to adjust into the Irish, I stumbled across my first few questions and that was it, I was gone, my head was blank. I couldnt even think of simple things like explaining the weather. I was so upset when I came out because I know I'm so much better than that. I'm just curious how your interview went? Were you able to answer the questions or did you struggle?
I would be over the moon if I got accepted and told to do that course because firstly you have your place and secondly you have that opportunity to brush up on your Irish which will be great! Dont be so hard on yourself! Well done!!

Hey,
I totally felt the same I couldn't answer most questions and at that I wasn't too sure what I was being asked. I thought the examiner talked so fast and when I got asked about the simple things I went totally blank. Your interview went exactly the same way as mine.I felt crap coming out of the interview coz i too felt the same that my Irish was better than what I showed in the interview. But chin up I got accepted and so will you no doubt!! They might just recommend you do the Irish course but that's only a good thing. I'm still waiting on my leaving cert results but I hope the both of us will be on our way from this Sept to being super teachers

I'm from Leitrim, I haven't really heard of anyone else from around here doing it this intake so I hope I don't have to travel too far! Where are u from?
We def should set up a Facebook page soon!!

Mo Chuisle · 06-08-2014 5:06pm

Yeah where is everyone from-we could possibly be in regional groups together!! I'm Wicklow

Howyaaaaa7 · 06-08-2014 5:13pm

I just had my interview today, like a lot of posts iv read my irish was a blur and I dont know what came out of my mouth. I could understand all the questions but did stumble on simple words like 'ardteist', just had a blank. It was def trickier doing the english first and then the irish. Fingers crossed I get offered a place. Delighted for ye all

Mo Chuisle · 06-08-2014 5:19pm

That's the way we all felt too Howyaaaaa7, I found the Gaeilge tough, everything erased out of my head and like you, stumbled on basic grammar/vocabulary..Don't be too hard on yourself-I don't think there is one person on here that didn't struggle through the Gaeilge-it's done now so relax and the best of luck-let us know when you hear anything!!!!!

stew.z.ger · 06-08-2014 7:18pm

Mo Chuisle go on.. you know you wanna set up the FB page ;-) Noodles I'm a Wexford gal :-D

Hey Meshelly.. My interview was the 29th and I found out yday. Check your spam mail incase an email from Hibernia went in there. Best of luck.

Mares88 · 07-08-2014 11:08am

well done everybody! brilliant news! anyone else in the south east? im on the kilkenny/Waterford border!

Mo Chuisle · 07-08-2014 6:12pm

I would probably be south east too Mares88-I'm kinda in the middle of Wexford and Dublin..

stew.z.ger · 07-08-2014 11:24pm

I'm in Wexford.. Eekkk I can't believe it. Go us :-)

Mares88 · 10-08-2014 10:55am

cool - we might all be in enniscorthy together. cant wait to get started!

nic94 · 10-08-2014 3:36pm

Hey guys can i ask what questions ye got asked in the english interview and also the irish please! any help would be appreciated!

Mo Chuisle · 10-08-2014 6:15pm

I posted a few questions I could remember on Page 5 of this thread-don't think anyone else posted what they were asked. It goes by so fast it's such a blur when you come out, it's hard to remember everything! When is your interview nic94?
Mares88-there is a regional group in Enniscorthy is there? That would be handy

nic94 · 10-08-2014 6:30pm

thanks ill have a look!! my interview if friday the 15th getting very nervous now!! if i get in.. fingers crossed!! ill probably be in the enniscorthy group too

Mo Chuisle · 10-08-2014 6:36pm

Aw the best of luck!!!! They will revert back to your personal statement and ask about that in the Gaeilge interview, so make sure you know what you wrote! Let us know how it goes

Mares88 · 11-08-2014 10:55am

mo chuisle I know of a few from Waterford that are travelling to enniscorthy this time round. I know one girl that moved to clonmel - that would probably be closer to me! the less travelling the better!

Mares88 · 11-08-2014 10:56am

best of luck nic94!

hic87 · 11-08-2014 11:58am

Hi guys, im new to this! I had my interview last friday, the English was fine but the Irish was a different story! could not remember simple irish n flew the modh coll question! Does anyone know how many places are given? if I get it I would be in Enniscorthy too :-)

addictedtomusic · 11-08-2014 5:02pm

Hi Guys! I had my interview last Tuesday (Aug 5th) and I got an email on Friday morning offering me a place on the course! So delighted with it! I can't wait to start and meet everyone! Anyone on here from Connacht??? Really hope I dont have too far to travel for the onsites

Howyaaaaa7 · 11-08-2014 5:05pm
