Reaction to today’s Junior and Leaving Cert exams

There has also been a positive reception to the ordinary level Irish paper 2“TThe paper was topical with rugby and the Ukrainian war appearing in the comprehension element. The much preferred poem Géibheann came up in the Filíocht section with An t-Earrach Thiar being the other option.

“The three choices in the Prós section contained no grey areas and students with a good understanding of the literature would have been able to give it a great shot. Overall a very straightforward, student centred exam today.”The early verdict from teachers is that Irish paper 2 was much more approachable than yesterday’s paper.subject expert Linda Dolan, Irish teacher at Mercy College, Sligo, said it was a “very manageable” higher level paper.

“They would have welcomed the highly anticipated literature questions. Oisín i dTír na nÓg and Dís appeared in the Prós section, which may have been predicted, with both containing straightforward questions,” she said. “However, An Spailpín Fánach in the Filíocht section contained some tricky vocabulary and would have put students through their paces. No doubt Mo Ghrá-sa was the most popular option as the language was much more student friendly.

“Although the topics for the léamhthuiscint appeared difficult, the questions presented nothing out of the ordinary.Students would have been relieved with today’s paper after possibly being left disheartened after yesterday’s exam.”
