    Yeah, you sit an Irish exam set by PAS. I'd start brushing up on your irish now though.

    Give me a Private Message after you pass your Interview I was in a similar situation as you. I had the Irish assessment with Public Appointments and passed it. It's manageable to pass when you get plenty of grinds.

    Private message me anyway closer to the time.

    Hey just a question to see if anyone is in the same boat as myself. I am missing the language from my application, I'm dyslexic so I only have English (I have an exemption from Irish) .

    I see from previous posts that a PAS Irish exam must be done to prove proficiency in a second language. Is there anyway around this as I haven't studied Irish since primary school or do I just have to get on with it and try learn up to ordinary leaving cert level?

    You should email: info@publicjobs.ie and they would be able to tell you.
