    I hope so it would be hard to wait another year . I thought it was a bit much when I heard it takes months on this one as well.

    I didnt do Irish for state exams ( Junior and Leaving Cert ) and have Spanish also as I lived there when I was younger and didnt have a problem at all. The req is English and another language

    I have spanish as a junior cert subject and then I sat an exam for it before the leaving cert as part of a class called lcvp which I passed. I mentioned this in my application and pointed out I sat a spanish Exam as part of this class. So I hope that counts.

    Have you Dept of Education exemption for Irish? AFAIK.. you sat an LCVP exam, not the actual Spanish Cirriculm exam.. ie you didnt do it as a subject as such.. I would double check that to be honest man

    No I sat an irish exam but I can't remember my grade and ive misplaced my results. I only sat spanish for the junior certificate and as I said as part of an lcvp course. I'll just wait and see what happens if needs be I'll just go for the excemption if my BR forms clear.
