    Nope, there are a good few universities that will accept you without Irish, you just need another secondary language; and Trinity is one of them, it being English in the past and all that.

    As far as I know, all four of the NUI's (UCD, NUIG, NUIM and UCC) have abolished the requirement of needing two auxiliary languages to enter into science/mathematics courses. I'm not 100% sure about UCC, but, I know the three others have. But, as far as I know, the requirement is still present on courses that aren't science/mathematics related. Check on Qualifax under each course you'd like to do anyway, just in case.
