    1. I'm sure you could find somewhere to rent

    2. I doubt you'll find a good job if you've failed the leaving cert.

    3. You'll find out after the election I'd say. We could end up with fee's for third level.

    Put your effort into passing the LC, and then go from there.

    First of all, don't worry about failing your leaving. It's a pretty hard exam to fail. Even if you don't get enough points, there are plenty of AQA courses.

    1. You won't be able to rent a house until you have a job, and even so I wouldn't fancy running a house on minimum wage. In the short-term, a house share might be a better option.
    2. It's possible to find a job, but it might not be easy. A minimum wage job that allows you to supplement your income with tips would be a good start. You really should have a career in mind though.
    3. You may qualify for a grant depending on your means.
