    Anyone else doing this for Irish? Pretty good stories, bit difficult but interesting. Most people I know are doing some other thinger so I thought it might be worth asking about on here :)

    So yes, anyone else studying it?

    I did it last year. The stories are indeed very good and extremely well written(though since it was written before Irish spelling and grammar were standardised, it can be a bit confusing).

    My favourite stories were Neill and Teatrarc na Gaillilí, and I was lucky in that both came up last year. :)

    If you've any questions on it feel free to ask. No one else on this board was doing it last year so unfortunately I didn't get to discuss it with anyone on here.

    I did Scothscéalta a million years ago for the Leaving in 1980 - lovely to see people are still doing it. A nice selection of stories I thought.

    It is a really good text, much more interesting than what a lot of my friends are doing. It's a pity it's not more widely done, but I suppose there's no sense in doing something overly challenging when you have an easier option!

    Good stuff though.

    yeah I did it last year and thought it was great, and sometime last year there was a documentary on TG4 about Padraig O Conaire, id definetly recommend it if you're studying it

    Hmm, I'll have to get my hands on it. He seems like a pretty interesting character! We've finally got proper notes & analysis-y type stuff on some of the stories, not as concerned as I was before :) Just hoping for a nice question now!
