1). Can i repeat second year and if so how?
2). Could i start a new course in a different college and would i have to pay full whack fees if i did this?

Are you not going to attempt the supplemental Exams first?

Contact TCD about your options.
If you were to drop out and start a new course you would have to pay full fees for first two years of new course

You get one shot of free fees per year of your degree, so if you started another course you'd pay for first and second year again.

You can repeat the year but you'd have to fail supplementals first, some people do it on purpose to get a second shot at their first choice of moderatorship. But by doing that you're taking the risk of repeating a year and still not getting what you want. If that's your plan I'd only recommend it if there was some particular reason you did badly in these exams i.e. illness, family problems or other circumstances that were beyond your control. People start with the best intentions but can fall back into bad habits quickly, if you're going to repeat just make sure you're not wasting your time.

Once the moderatorship places are offered you'll be able to see what courses are left and better weigh up your options. And make sure to talk to your tutor they're there for exactly these kinds of situations.
