    As far as I know you will have to go back and do the leaving, only one year.All you have to do is the bear minimum because you only have to get into a PLC(points wonl't be really high). I onlt know of PLCs that require high points and asz far as i know you only have to pass you LC to get in. Colsaite Stiofan Naofa in cork is the only course I know of, it will be reasonably cheap if you live in cork as the fees for CAO applicant ( the registration fee) is only 500 quid as apposed to a university which is 1650 p/a. You can even do your leavind in the same college if you wanted...
    as far as i know thats the only way , Im more then likley wrong :)
