    After getting a total of 3 marks for my stair na gaelige in my mocks I realised I should actually attempt to learn some of it! Any tips?

    No clue, as someone said on a different thread, surely we should be more worried about the future of irish...

    Aisling Pholatiuil should come up, and its grand. If you studied Urcheail a Chreagain, you know what it is already.

    Ogham is easy, and it wont hurt to learn that, Bealoidis.

    Influence of foreign languages came up in the mocks, so thats a possiblity.

    I dunno, Stair is what im least worried about.

    Couldn't hurt to learn Ruraíocht/Fiannaíocht. They haven't come up in a while, wouldn't be surprised to see either of them.

    Are they asked as one question or two separate ones?
    Hopefully two. :)

    How much would you have to write on each topic?

    I think it's three main points on each topic... could be wrong though

    15 marks for each Q, 30 marks overall. So I believe 3 MAIN developed points for each.

    Not too bad, you'll get loads of Ruraiocht/Fhiannaoicht without even describing the stories. you'll be grand. :)

    Might look over Bard Scoileanna to be safe.
