    You need a language other than English and Irish for the NUI anyway; not 100% but I imagine TCD are the same? unless they count Irish as an extra language, stranger things have happened.

    TCD are def a bit odd with somethings (I remember when I did the LC Geography could count as a science subject for certain courses)

    call the admissions office!

    As I recall, you do.
    http://www.tcd.ie/Admissions/undergraduate/requirements/matriculation/leavingcert/
    And taken from there I find:
    A pass in mathematics and a pass in a language other than English

    Basically if you have Irish then that counts.

    Of course latin counts as a second language, the trinity folk love their latin.
