    any predictions on which stories will come up?


    I'm confident on Fiche Bhlian ag Fás and Lá Bui Bealtaine........I'll do An Cearrbhach as well.....

    Would those be enough?
    ie. will you always have a choice of these ones?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 540 ✭✭✭SmashingPilot


    At the moment I'm pretty comfortable with Jack, Nil aon Ni, Faoiseamh and Gealt.

    For the stories I know Cearrbhach, An Bhean og. I think I need to learn a few more stories.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 LowEndFreq


    Yeah, Jack seems to be a good one to come up.. hasn't come up for two years!

    your doin the 'cursa ainmithe' i assume......... you will have Two Q's one on a poem and one on another peom....... next you have the stories... you will have to write out a bit or all of the story stated....Two stories u will ave to do...... YOU WILL BE FINE!!!!!! BESIDES ITS ONLY PASS IRISH!!!!hope that helps!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Censorsh!t


    Poetry is grand. You can bull your way through it because it's given to you, and just need a general jist of it.
    Pro's on other hand...
    As long as you're not couting it for points it's grand.
    Paper 2 isnt worth that much..not even half.

    I live my days/nights/weekends as i use to :)

    Well I'll type them out, it'll be study for me. :)

    So I'll PM them to you and anyone else who wants them. Should have them done in about 40 minutes or so. Just need to find them now. :rolleyes:

    Finished thursday aswell, and bout me failing, dont think i can avoid it now to be honest, after finding out paper 2 is only worth 18% :mad::mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 663 ✭✭✭SimpleLogic


    you one on 2fm was tipping "lig sinn i gcathu" big time.

    not sure if she was talking about ordinary or higher at one stage but mentioned "an bhean og" as likely too but "Cearbhach" as less like likely.
    hope that helps :cool:

    u do biolgy ya?????? how u sorted!!????ahhhhhh....u wont fail.....seriously


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    ya lig si i gcathu or la bui na bealtaine wud be my guess!!!!!! nil aon ni, jack or gealt as the peom!!!!!!

    I can 100% guarantee you that Nil Aon Ni will not come up.
    This is because of all the controversy about the poet Cathal O Searcaigh.

    Story: http://www.independent.ie/national-news/boys-were-damaged-by-sex-trysts-with-poet-1286378.html

    Jack and Gealt are my picks for paper II.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 536 ✭✭✭Blitz17

    Biology isnt really a strong subject of mine either.... :(:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 292 ✭✭quoteunquote


    Weren't the questions for the papers set a good while before all that controversy happened? I was told not to rely on that just incase.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 N03L R3V

    The papers were done back in November(before the scandel came to light) so your guarantee isn't worth much .

    Even if the papers had been done after the whole thing became public . I wouldn't have completely ruled out Nil Aon Ni coming up .

    Yeah you are right but the probability is it wont come up because it has been asked in the last years . Lig sin i gcathu agus jack. I would love gealt to come up but i dunno.
    havent really studied yet but i think 2 hours will cover me(just need the bear D3pass). Good luck all

    Its the best poem on the f*cken thing, who really cares if he nonced on a few brown boys?

    I think it's a big deal .That is sick. You should be ashamed of yourself.
    Do really think a paedophile's art should be paraded around our national curriculum. Get a life and grow up.
