Shannon College of Hotel Management

CAO 703 points (2025 entry, includes up to 300 interview points); Leaving Certificate minimum H5 in two subjects plus O6/H7 passes in four others, including Irish, English, Mathematics, a third language, and two further recognised subjects

Genuinely no US SAT/ACT direct-entry pathway is published anywhere for this course -- entry is CAO-points-and-mandatory-interview only (interviews held April/July, worth up to 300 of the 703 total points), same honest 'no US test path at all' pattern as the existing Falmouth entry. A genuinely new institution type among the schools listed here: a specialist hospitality college, affiliated with but administratively distinct from University of Galway, alongside IADT's specialist art/design/tech precedent.
