    Call your old school and arrange to meet with the guidance counsellor, I'm sure they could help you based on your interests and ability.

    So assuming you did 7 subjects, that means you've passed 5??? English, Irish, Maths and two others. That satisfies the entry requirements for any of the ITs except perhaps one or two specific courses.

    You could have a look at the Available Places list on the CAO website. If there is anything there that you are interested in you can apply for it tomorrow on the CAO website, you don't have to have applied for any of the courses previously.

    Don't rush into accepting a course just for the sake of it. If there's something there you like, great. If not, sit down and think about what you want to do. Repeating the year or doing a PLC wouldn't be the end of the world.
