    All they will do is have a look at your past LC results and ask you about what your plans and intentions are for repeating the LC. My interview with them this time last year was only about 5-10 mins in total.

    As for difficulty on getting in, it depends on the amount of people who have applied this year.

    Em..... well, that's the case for everyone else going into Rathmines..... Thats's like walking into Tesco and telling the cashier you're here to buy some groceries.

    I meant you need to tell them something along the lines of "I'm repeating because I want to study X course and to get there I need to get Y points this year. Hoping to improve my result in Z by N grades/points."

    They want to see you're not going to waste their time and take a place that could have been given to someone very serious about working. So make sure you can give reasons why you think you can do better.
