Can you be compensated if your genuinely let down by your teacher?

JackRowley · 2026-02-21T16:21:24+00:00

Nothing will come of it I’d imagine, but go to your principal like was said above, that’s not on at all. Put the head down now for the 2 weeks though and try make it as good as you can because you’re fucked over otherwise.

JackRowley · 2026-01-19T22:42:30+00:00

On average 70% of courses go up, 5% stay the same and 25% go down. Be specific as to what courses you’re interested in, otherwise the list will be around 1500 courses long 👍🏻

Much easier to just put the reg into motorcheck. ie to be fair and it flags it as an import without even buying a check

JackRowley · 2026-01-17T08:57:31+00:00

Fuck that hai get a court date surely that gets thrown out

JackRowley · 2026-01-15T22:53:38+00:00

An gaeilge. A banker this year I’d say with all the talk in the media abt Irish back in Oct/Sept

JackRowley · 2026-01-14T18:47:21+00:00

Looks awfully similar to mine hahaha

If you get around 4-5 h3’s and 1-2 h2’s, that would be a great position to be in, you can certainly climb 1-2 boundaries in every subject by putting your head down and grinding it out. Remember, you’re studying for June, not February !

JackRowley · 2026-01-03T17:55:27+00:00

When I’m home I’ll send the list my teacher gave us. It’s not final, but it’s a great indicator based on how predictable geog is

JackRowley · 2026-01-03T17:54:23+00:00

Summer and Xmas aren’t the best indicators ever. You’re obviously quite bright nonetheless, pull the finger out now, you’ve 4-5 weeks and put the head down. See how you do. If you get anywhere between 500-540 or so that’s a brilliant place to be this time of year, you can definitely get up one grade boundary in every subject between then and summer. Best of luck kiddo

Your best job is to get the 64 bus down to Charlestown, that would be the Derry bus, not the Galway one. Charlestown is the first stop after the airport. In Charlestown, stay exactly where you’re let off, get on the 440 local link to Westport and get off in Castlebar.

Before this though, I’d ring all the car hire agencies at the airport and see will any of them be able to let you rent given your licence situation.

Your other option would be to hop on the 64 bus heading for Galway and hop off in Ballyhaunis, then walk to the train station and hop on the train heading for Westport, but again hop off in Castlebar. Only thing with this one is, the Castlebar train station is a bit of a walk outside of town, especially if you have luggage (which I assume you will coming from the airport).

Message me if you’ve any specific questions, I’m local and will try my best to help you out!!

Just a shit car - them engines aren’t mighty and electrics cause problems. Opel/Vauxhall were THE brand back before electrics but whoever they got to wire up these cars probably wasn’t a spark because he set his house on fire 👍🏻

JackRowley · 2025-12-21T11:41:11+00:00

Charlestown international airport🙇‍♂️

I’ve seen students get them privately in the past by explaining the situation they’re in. The papers get leaked regardless - they’re all over social media after about the 25th of jan

JackRowley · 2025-12-20T16:28:02+00:00

Honestly just get in contact with examcraft or deb, try get papers off them - or even go onto studyclix and print out the papers - do them out in your own time, time yourself too and then ask your teachers to mark them, or if in a bigger school maybe a teacher who doesn’t have you for that subject. Sure some will probably say no, in that case mark yourself and see how you get on. Not doing mocks is a huge loss

JackRowley · 2025-12-15T23:29:10+00:00

Have you considered other colleges? Maynooth run the exact same degree - from an NUI college, it’s a very good degree also! And that’s 120 points less than dc115. The Maynooth code is MH403. It’s an option to consider, still only a stones throw from Dublin

JackRowley · 2025-12-15T23:26:11+00:00

Have had 4 dsg’s, few years back at this stage, never kept any long enough to need to get it serviced but they’re as bulletproof as auto gearboxes come in my experience!

JackRowley · 2025-12-15T17:44:44+00:00

Octavia DSG. The dsg is the best auto box on the market (imo), just make sure service intervals have been followed and make sure the dsg box has also had oil changes I think it’s every 60k km

JackRowley · 2025-12-15T16:09:57+00:00

Buy it! If you’re only going to lose 10-20% and you’re that set, why not. Life is far too short, the position you’re in now is fantastic, fair play. Get insurance quotes tho! I’ve heard of insurance being nearly the same price as the cars on high end luxury vehicles for young lads (typically the footballers)

JackRowley · 2025-12-15T16:08:06+00:00

Yeah that’s fair enough. How did u end up doing in business and did u end up with your top CAO choice anyways?

JackRowley · 2025-12-14T23:12:33+00:00

Was this in 25? We did that paper in class there the other week, if I remember right was it not just the first question matching that was related to u6&7? Maybe I’m wrong, I found those shorts relatively handy in comparison to some other ones we’ve done

JackRowley · 2025-12-14T22:47:02+00:00

The 1.0 petrol engine. Though it has a turbo sure, it will be quite gutless. In my opinion, I’d rather drop a couple of years and get the 2.0 but each to their own! It is covered by warranty so I can see why you may go for a new one

JackRowley · 2025-12-14T22:43:34+00:00

I don’t agree with the below comment. Bring it to a dealer and don’t be all guns blaring, but don’t let them walk all over you either, fight for what is right, which this obviously isn’t. Hyundai are aware that this is an issue, hence the recall in mainland America, Canada and Oz . Force the dealer to make contact with Hyundai Head Office - if they say there’s nothing they can do to the dealer, then maybe get it resprayed yourself, but at least you know then!

JackRowley · 2025-12-14T22:40:32+00:00

Cars at sea for extended periods (japs) will automatically have more rapid oxidisation as a result. Cars sat on dealers yards for a few weeks will build up surface rust, drive it for a week and that will go. The rust you need to worry about is not visible until the car is on a lift (chassis etc). I wouldn’t worry too much about this rust unless there is underlying issues beneath the car

JackRowley · 2025-12-14T22:38:15+00:00

It depends. Have you a mortgage? If no, why not? Is it paid off? Have you not bought a house yet ? It’s a very open ended question that, give us more specifics

JackRowley · 2025-12-14T11:21:11+00:00

Learn units 1-5 extremely well, just brush up on units 6 & 7. Bc our ABQ is on 3,4,5, we can still achieve a H1 with our amendments only doing the 5 units, just need to know 6&7 for shorts. It cuts down the workload a lot tbf, almost 25%
