Irish

Irish is one of the core subjects of the Leaving Certificate and is compulsary to all examinees except those who have recieved an exemption. It is available at ordinary-level, higher-level and foundation-level and is examined through 4 tests; an oral exam in April, two written exams in June and an aural exam in June.

Irish, being a mandatory subject, is required for most higher education courses to those without exemptions. For courses without an Irish requirement, see.
