How can you say anywhere in Ireland is the "in" place in the republic?! As NO ONE from these schools have been INVITED FOR AN ASSESSMENT since May-June or so. Including the school in Cork that you mentioned.
Now before other people comment, read what it says. Cause I know someone will say "I knew a few Irish lads in my TR course in September". So my pre-response is... They had their assessment May/June. You won't find them on the TR courses in Nov/Dec/Jan!
