    I rang the kings inns and enquired as to what a 'good standard' of irish meant, they seemed to suggest it would be the standard of an A grade higher level leaving cert student. I'm sitting on a B1 as a lazy fluent irish speaker from birth.... :P anyone been assessed last year for entry? Do you reckon a B1 with fluency and daily use of irish at home would pass muster?

    The standard last year was pretty high. I didn't sit the entrance test but judging from those who did the standard seems to be around B2 on the Common European Framework.

    Yes, that would be about right. I set and correct the King's Inns exam and the main problem seems to be that a majority of those who take the entrance test don't seem to do any preparation. Having an A or B in Honours Irish in the Leaving Cert is simply not enough - it's necessary to study grammar in advance and get help from someone with a degree in Irish or a good grasp of grammar, if possible.
