Well everyone,

I got an email today saying I got offered a place with Dianchúrsa‏. Woohoo!! I saw that Mo Chuisle and louiseB900 have been recommended to do this course but is there anyone else out there or does anyone else know about this course?? I couldn't care less about having to do this course after failing the Irish in the Pat's interview in May anything to improve I am willing to undertake. Now to buy the book ‘Gramadach Gan Stró’ by Éamonn Ó Dónaill and start studying. It's all happening so fast - need to get my head around it all!!!

Anyone have the link to the facebook page?

Hi all. I just got an email yesterday confirming I was accepted and found this thread so congrats to all that have got their places and good luck to all waiting on news and have yet to do interviews. Can I join the face book page stew.z.ger? I'll send you a pm if that is ok. I think we are going to be very busy for the next 2 years but it will be worth it. Has anyone any idea re finding placements for December or are you waiting till after induction in Maynooth?

Hi sonshine,

I'm in the same boat as you! Have my interview tomorrow evening (26th)! I applied back before the original deadline but was too sitting the LC Irish and was also away for 3 weeks in July! What time you in at tomorrow? I wonder when we will hear back because the induction is fairly soon!
Have you all applied for bank loans for the fees?
Does anyone know when the first placement block will be?

Sorry! Only seeing this now! I was there 11:10, I was really really nervous and English went well enough but it wasn't great in the Irish part. They didn't even ask me anything I hadn't prepared for but I just panicked and it was all a bit rushed :,-( I won't be holding my breath I'm afraid but will let u know all the same! All interviewers were really lovely though!

Mo Chuisle

Awww Sonshine thats how we all felt-dont worry, I think we are all so hard on ourselves and we dont know what level the interviewers are looking for so relax now and the best of luck!!!!!

JBells22

So im in! Have to do the dianchursa! But glad to be in!

Hey Sonshine,

Awh im sure you did better than you think and they offer ya a place Had my interview this eve... Irish was tough enough and I messed up tenses a bit. Stuttered on a couple o things in English one too Id say we should hear this week since course seems to start next week? Ugh fingers crossed!!

Godeo

Hi all, sonshine that is exactly how I felt and doubt you will hear in the next day or so, so fingers crossed. Well done Jbells 22 you must be thrilled. I'm in the process of updating my computer, which hasn't been in use for nearly a year,to make sure all the systems are in place. I have earphones but no mic yet. Has a Facebook page been set up does anyone know

Godeo

Ps finger crossed for you to shinaretta and everyone else waiting to hear back

How long was it before you heard back? Last time I heard within 2days!!! :-/ thought I'd be relieved when it was over now the waiting game is killing me!!

JBells22

I'm from Dundalk, so I guess the Dublin centre would be nearest? I'll try find the facebook page now. I'm glad I'm doing the dianchursa, my irish isn't great and need all the extra help I can get!!

Godeo

Sonshine I did my interview Monday week ago(the 18th) and heard the day before yesterday. So 5 working days. I agree the waiting is hard. Did you apply to hibernia before.

JBells22

I have requested to join the group, I'm Helen McArdle. Sonshine, the wait is the worst. It took five working days for me too but because we have to have forms in the 1st September, I wouldn't be surprised that you hear this week! The waiting is the hardest, best of luck!

Godeo

I have just sent a request also to the fb page. My profile picture is of me with a baby sling on my chest and a little girl reaching out to me. I'm wearing a pink jacket so if someone can accept me that would be great

ELSEBELLE

stew.z.ger

Hi everyone.. I think I have added everyone, if not PM me or any of us and we will add you to the facebook page..

Thanks guys

Mo Chuisle

Actually I'm just wondering is the group searchable now???I wonder do we have enough members now Yeah I agree and think it's just better to keep the facebook group for September 2014 students.:eek::P

I had the interview on Friday gone. Jayney I am nervous waiting now. I hope I get to know soon as it's starting in a few weeks and I'd have to tell work. I asked at the end of the interview when the course was starting and they said ' oh the start of September'!

CillDara109090

Sonshine

Ahhhh! I got in!! I'm in such shock and over the moon!! Haha best bday present ever :-) thanks for all the well wishes everyone it must have helped :-D

HI everyone

I am new to this thread and to Boards.ie. I was recently accepted onto PME course with Hibernia. well done to all of you on getting the interview and your Irish results that is a great hurdle to overcome. I am living in County Longford and was wondering is there anyone in the Midlands/west region that got into the course? I am looking forward to the induction day and hope to meet loads people. Best of luck to you all in the coming year ....ps is there a facebook page set up for us?
