    Best of luck with it.
    If you are considering Applied languages, you are surely good enough to do honours in Irish. Is it too late?

    The days of Irish being a heavy course full of learning are passed us, although admittedly there may be a good deal of homework to do in some schools. Honours Irish is difficult to fail now and has the second highest honours rate after music. The course is very similar to pass so I'd recommend doing it until your oral exam if you can change at this late stage.
