    Best bet would be to go back and do the leaving again. Do you have a degree in something else?

    You could go down the mature student route, but it's very competitive, and you'd still need honours Irish. I think it would be easier to study like mad for one year and get the points, rather than do honours Irish, and taking the chance with the interview.

    Honours Irish is a must, were you far off the points as perhaps you could repeat next year and get them?
