Sight-reading question (music)?

What syllables are used in Ireland for sight-reading?

I'm Hungarian, and I applied to a school in Dublin. At home, we have the moveable Do system, and use the solmization syllables Do Re Mi Fa etc...

Do they use different syllables out there? Like, maybe C D E F G etc..? And how do they pronounce semitones like #D bF while singing?

Your answer would be a great help for me! :)

Update:

I can sight-read already, I'd just like to know what syllables to sing on the audition ^^

    We use the moveable do system, same as you. Just do it whatever way you're used to. Or even better, don't sing do re mi, just sing everything to la. Then you avoid the problem with the sharps and flats.

    We use do re mi, but it would be no harm to get in touch with the school with any questions you have im sure they'd be happy to help.
