I don't think I have the grade In irish but I have English and Spanish so i don't think I need irish as long as I have English and a second language.

I hope so it would be hard to wait another year . I thought it was a bit much when I heard it takes months on this one as well.

I didnt do Irish for state exams ( Junior and Leaving Cert ) and have Spanish also as I lived there when I was younger and didnt have a problem at all. The req is English and another language

I have spanish as a junior cert subject and then I sat an exam for it before the leaving cert as part of a class called lcvp which I passed. I mentioned this in my application and pointed out I sat a spanish Exam as part of this class. So I hope that counts.

Have you Dept of Education exemption for Irish? AFAIK.. you sat an LCVP exam, not the actual Spanish Cirriculm exam.. ie you didnt do it as a subject as such.. I would double check that to be honest man

No I sat an irish exam but I can't remember my grade and ive misplaced my results. I only sat spanish for the junior certificate and as I said as part of an lcvp course. I'll just wait and see what happens if needs be I'll just go for the excemption if my BR forms clear.

How long of a wait is the exemption form going to be I wonder ?

I was talking to a really nice guy at the medical and he applied back in 2009. That's the longest I've heard.

I wonder when we will get a call for a date ? I think I'll ring them next month and enquire, I really hope I get the June training date if my exemption clears.

RUNNER 1

Try the Interview and report writing tread man, if any one has any news you will find it there but my advice is ring up and ask for an interview somewhere they are doing interviews .
