Yes, of course you should. Places are limited so even if you achieve the entry requirements for your chosen course. Its not guaranteed.
That being said I was in the same position as you last year and got lots of offers including my first choices.

Definitely, there's steep competition for FETAC places. Give yourself as many chances of getting a place as possible.
