Leaving Cert Irish Paper 2: Higher Level ‘very manageable’, Ordinary was ‘student-centred’
Studyclix subject expert Linda Dolan, Irish teacher at Mercy College, Sligo, said.
“A manageable higher level paper was presented to students today. 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.
“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.”
Verdict on LC Irish Ordinary Level Paper 2
Studyclix subject expert Linda Dolan, Irish teacher at Mercy College, Sligo, said.
“The Ordinary Level Paper 2 was well received by Leaving Certificate students. The 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.”
