    If you are over 23, they should not regard your leaving cert results, unless it is a requirement for the course.

    As for dyslexia, a lot of colleges have programs to assist people with certain needs, ring them up and ask. And all modern computers have spell checkers, so that should help too.

    You'll be fine. My friend's mother never did her leaving cert. SHe has to do pre-refreshers course thing for one year, but next year she can enter into most of the degree courses.
