Families wishing to apply for an exemption from Irish must complete the following two forms and submit to either, a) the key worker or, b) the year leader.

Irish Exemption – letter to families explaining possible implications, 0055 2022

Irish Exemption – Application for Exemption from the Study of Irish, 0055 2022

Please note, as per Circular 0055/2022, students enrolled in the autism class are exempt from Irish without holding a Certificate of Exemption and therefore do not need to apply.

Families wishing to apply for release from the study of a modern foreign language should contact the key worker or year leader to discuss.

More information in relation to Irish exemption is available on gov.ie/en/service/irish-exemption/.
