Hey OP,

Best of luck with your application! Personal statements can be an absolute pain, but there are some great sites that have good info and tips. UCD have a specific area for mature students with personal statement templates available for download. They could be of help? And maybe Maynooth would too?

Just Google "UCD mature student personal statement" and it should pop up.

I've a mate whose in the exact same boat. Just out of curiousity do you have higher maths done for leaving cert. Some courses have a HC3 requirement but I'm not sure whether they take this account for mature students.
