    probably a stupid question sorry of it is!
    Would it be possible to still find student accommodation after people receive an offer and accept a course somewhere else where they booked accommodation? As i cant find any atm..

    Yes you will. Unfortunately a lot of people won't get their first choice and may go to college in a different city/ take a gap year etc and will forfeit any accommodation they have. Start ringing around the days after the CAO offers come out and you should get somewhere.

    Also would you still have to pay a deposit?

    Yes - typically one months rent for a room in a house or approx. €500 if you are going for student accommodation / campus apartment. Bear in mind they may want you to pay rent from 1st September regardless of when you'll be moving in so some may ask for that with the deposit.
