Junior Cert Irish: Paper 2 'more difficult but fair’

In section two, students were presented with two “unseen poems” they had not studied - Litreacha by Mícheál Ó Ruairc and An Páiste Deiridh by Réaltán Ní Leannáin.

“It can be very off-putting when the poems are extremely complex. Students have a limited window of opportunity. they only have 15 minutes really to get through both poems and decide which of the questions they are going to answer and then actually complete the task and write the answers. “There were a couple of phrases that were challenging and there has to be some challenge in it but I think by and large I would have said yes, most students would have made a fairly fist of that.“The vast majority of students would have prepared an essay or a story about sport so when a letter comes up about sport or a sporting occasion they attended they should be very happy,” said Mr Gavin.

The third option, a formal letter about the environment featured “some challenging points.” That might have caught out some people.

I love the fact that a national newspaper discusses exams. Reminds everyone of the horror/delight!

A: you've a great memory, B: you've a very good memory, C: You've a good memory, D: You've a decent memory...what's the point in this?
