Exams live - ‘Much tougher than previous years’: Mixed reaction to higher-level Leaving Cert Irish paper one
There was a mixed reaction among teachers to Leaving Cert Irish paper one which may have posed challenges for the best-prepared students.
“The díospóireacht question was based on the Irish language and charities. Students would have needed to have been well prepared for those. Overall, this paper may have proved challenging for some students today.”Clare Grealy from the Institute of Education in Dublin walks students through the Irish higher paper one.
While there were eight compositional choices, she said the vast majority of students will most likely have narrowed it down to only two options: drugs, and famous people. “However, thankfully students had the opportunity to reuse some of the vocabulary prepared for the Sraith Pictuir. This was a useful overlap that would have helped them navigate the piece,” she said.
Ruairi Farrell, a business studies teacher at Greystones Community College in Wicklow and TUI representative, said topics issues such as Ireland’s 50th anniversary of EU membership and rising prices felt by all families in Ireland today were examined.
