    Hi
    Today I heard that you must pass your core subject in (LC) like IRISH etc to get into Universities.
    Is it true? What if I failed higher level irish !!! Sorry I'm panicking.
    Anyone know ? Is it new rule in CAO?

    Thank you in advance

    Different universities have different minimum standards for entry, as well as specific requirements for each course.
    For some a pass in Irish is needed, for others a pass in a modern European language other than English or Irish, for some a certain level of Maths is required.

    Sometimes, these requirements are not needed, for example the Irish requirement for someone who was educated for primary school in Poland or France or Spain.

    These are university/college requirements, nothing to do with the CAO.

    If you think it's likely you might fail Irish and Irish is one of your chosen course's basic requirements, then you might consider switching to OL.
