    What do people think is most likely to come up in the different parts of the paper?

    Going by anything common that came up in the mocks papers, Jack, Gealt and Oíche Nollaig seem to have a good chance of coming up, Stair-wise Ogham and Ruraíocht were in both but that could go any way tbh. The "Triail" questions were great on one paper (describe characters) and horrible on the other (dramatic techniques, life in 60's). I think it's gonna be pretty hard to predict... Just get the grammar down!

    I guess for the honours poems any of the 4 that haven't come up are likely given that they haven't ever repeated one before. Cearrbhach Mac Caba was compulsory for the last 2 years too so maybe they'll give it a rest (hopefully anyway).

    "Téann an córas sláinte sa tír seo ó ghéarchéim go géarchéim cosúil le ollpheist millteach atá ag alpadh airgid na n-íocóirí cánach"...The health system goes from crisis to crisis, like a destructive monster that's devouring the tax-payers' money.

    I don't know if anyone uses the book "Fiúntas 2" but there's a nice essay in that about health in ireland and the second half of it focuses on the health system.

    Meant to say Fiúntas 1, anyways here's a few phrases i have copied from the book from before. I'll dig out the book later and post some more.


    Is fearr an tsláinte ná na táinte - health is better than wealth
    liostaí feithimh - waiting lists
    fochultúr and óil - subculture of drink
    árachas sláinte - health insurance
    tá an fadhb ag crá agus and créimeadh na tíre - the problem is tormenting the country.
    in am an gháthair - in time of need
    oibritheoirí sláinte - health workers
    cloistear scéalta scanrúla - scandelous stories are heard
    an bhfuil and córas leighis againne ábalta deighleáil leis an ngéarchéim? - is our health system able to deal with the crisis?
    fágtha ina luí ar thralaithe i bpasáistí ospidéil - left lying on trollies in hospital corridors.
    na haonaid tionóisce agus ghéarphráinne ag cur thar maoil le druncaerí and andúiligh - the A&E overflowing with drunks and addicts.
    ag dul ó smacht - going out of control
    ag tuar fhadhbanna móra sláinte - predicting big health problems
    ganntanas altraí - lack of nurses

    hope that helps!
