I went for the 29th. Sincerely hope there were no grammatical errors in my email reply!

EDIT: Woah, only 12 places? Thought it would be a much bigger thing. Also, €1,000. Sweet.

Aw, how come I'd never heard of this?!

Is it too late to apply?

I checked mine about five times, felt kind of strange to be writing in Irish, it has been a while! Have to learn all my fócloir again now lol!:o

Did anyone else get a phone call from them saying that you've been accepted? Why is everyone going to an interview?

bythewoods

Kept meaning to apply for this.
Last year. This year. Whatevz.

Ah sure. If I do make it into Trinity I'll come visit you gaiz.
I speak Irish at home with my brother these days, so that's good enough for me.

Lol fail, most of the links there refer to this thread, and none of them give an explaination in English.

I'm going to maintain my sanity by assuming that this is filthy lies.

Not good enough for us. Sorry. Not invited.

No they did not. Presume so too though! I wonder how many are going for interviews? If theres only 12 places yet it's staged over 2 days...

nicola09

They could just be having two days to make sure everyone can go, after all we didn't know there was going to be an interview and lots of people could be away on holidays, or working (hardly!!:(). Perhaps they want to provide an element of choice? Yeah I'd love to know how many are going to be interviewed as well, like out of my class two of us were asked, I'm not sure about the others who applied, or if they even did apply in the end!

A Neurotic

Yeah, the choice thing makes sense. I'd rather they didn't though :P

I was under the impression it would be a phone interview. I'm almost sure I read that in some of the literature/application form. Oh well. I suppose I'll have to bowl them over with the complete package and not just my voice. :pac:

Go suck a lemon.
I make an epic cup of tea, and you'll be having none of it.
You neurotic mess, you.

SligoBrewer

Rang them up. It's on in Dartry, in Halls. They'll send out e-mails to all of us with details. There will be interviews in the morning and in the afternoon, both days. The interviews will also be group based, to see how well we communicate presumably.

A Neurotic

That's a bit strange... I foresee either speaking-alone-in-a-crowd awkwardness, or showy offy interview hogs. Oh well. Feicfear.
