Hi,

I haven't gone through the system yet, I'm still going through it, but as I understand from what I've read from the CAO and HEIs so far, if you are 23 or older, then you will count as a mature student, and you won't have to deal with the points system at all.

The fact that you already have an undergraduate degree, and indeed a postgraduate qualification will probably serve in your favour and will be taken into account when it comes around to applying to colleges.
