then any of Irish medical schools would do. No difference among them.

If you ask local Irish students its Trinity, with caveat that teaching is not necessarily better. For internationals there really is no difference.

Trinity is the only school with a significantly lower match rate in 2015 (4/11 in Canada and 3/13 in the States). Not really sure what happened that year but, I would wait and see if they rebound from that. The rest of the Irish schools are pretty much equal.

OP is Saudi, I dont think they care about those match rates lol. Maybe the US one, but doubtful if they want to go back to saudi

I believe the Saudi government sponsors students to go to RCSI; they cover tuition and give you a monthly sum to live off of if you are a Saudi citizen and sign a contract to practice medicine in Saudi once you graduate. Haven't heard of other schools doing this, definitely something you should look into on your end in Saudi Arabia.
