Not sure why. Heading towards their 20s is surely time for offspring to start looking after themselves?Hope it works out - stressful time for parents!
Did she consider requesting a recheck of papers that she could have expected another 5-10 points one - just in case?
Best of luck

my daughter is 10 points short of her first choice subject in UCD. She has been told that she can do a course in an IT to make up the points is this true or would she be better of repeating.
Personally, for someone like your daughter I wouldn't recommend this route, she clearly has the ability to get in to the course (she is only 10 points short after all)
Nothing to do with the OPs original point, but had to comment on this. The points requirements have no connection to the ability of anyone to do a course. The points are simply related to supply and demand. If there are 100 places on a course and 600 people apply, the point cut-off is simply the number of points that the 100th person had! No relation to ability.
(Given the structure of the Leaving I'd also question if it is a true reflection of someone’s ability for a certain course. I admire our broad education, but should someone really need a higher mark in Art if they wish to study accounting for example.... that is however a very different debate)
Offered second choice but really does not want to do this.
Ahhhh, apologies, seemed to get the wrong end of what turned out not to be a stickwhat I meant (apologies if this wasn't clear) was that she has the ability to get in to the course, i.e. to get 10 more points next year. I wasn't making any comment on her ability/suitability for the course. Hope that clears that up!
is it possible for a recheck to lower a grade?

I know that UL sends Civ Eng graduates to the University of Dundee to complete their degrees.
3 Years in UL Engineering and I have never heard of Civ Eng? You might be thinking of the Erasmus programme in relation to Dundee.
