    yes to hebrew, I'm not sure about arabic any more.

    Check out the school of Near Eastern Languages for further info.

    You can do a module of Beginners' Arabic, not sure if there are more advanced ones.

    UCD didn't offer Arabic this year at all and Hebrew only for 3rd year.

    Don't think it is anymore. The Brady regime, in its infinite wisdom, is phasing out that department (because, sure, that's not an important subject; I mean, where's the innovation or robust, synergies moving forward?).

    The only lecturer in it no longer teaches. There used to be another permanent lecturer but he passed away last year. And the contract lecturer was let go. But, sure, that frees up more money to waste on flags and pennants and posters of the management team.
