I was looking at the UCC website and I need to know whether computer science requires a third language. I am currently deciding which subjects to study fot the leaving . I looked at this site but could'nt follow it :P http://www.ucc.ie/en/study/undergrad/how/alevel/

I assume you're doing the leaving, and not A-levels, in which case you should be looking at this page: http://www.ucc.ie/en/study/undergrad/how/leavingcert/
The minimum requirements are: HC3 in 2 subjects and passes in four other subjects at H/O level in the Leaving Cert from Irish, English, Mathematics, and three other subjects recognised for entry purposes.
Far as I can tell, that means you need a HC3 or better in 2 subjects, and you need to pass any four others. Irish, English and Maths are compulsory so I think that's why they are named specifically. I'd suggest making sure you pass them as well though. You will also need the minimum points to get the course.
I assume you're back in school by now, so you could always talk to your teachers or guidance counsellor about it.

Answer to OP's question, yes you definitely do need a third language to study computer science at UCC

No you don't, they changed the requirements in the past few years and you don't need a 3rd language for it.

I was aware they changed the maths requirement across the college - my brother applied to that course and to the best of my knowledge needed his third language

i was speaking to one of the admission officers regarding the maths - apologies, i didn't realise it was only across the Arts Faculty, college of Science, Engineering & Food Science relaxed the language requirement but not the maths.

I dont think you need a language to do a lot of science degrees...
