I'd say definitely know "Gealt?" anyway as it hasn't come up as a compulsory question in many years.

Edit; And actually I think you could get away with leaving out one story, as they usually only ask two for the part A of that pros, and then they ask the rest below for the themes question. I could be wrong though!

An Bean Og!!! Didn't come up in ages

This is really annoying me this subject. I do lots of other higher level ones and pass Irish and it's just a joke. I need to spend ages studying the subjects I need to get into college not this. I used to like Irish and I did higher for the JC but now it just feels like a waste of time, nothing is done in class and now I suck at IRish.

what topics should you go over for paper 1?

The poems and stories only add up to like 18% of the overall mark, so I'm not really bothered.
I'll make up something about Clair Sa Speir if it comes up, or an bhean og.
And the poems are given, so you can do some bull**** on that.

I'd say you could get a good 10% out of the 18 if you don't sudy.
Paper1 is worth twice as much, and it's easier.

I've just decided to do pass Irish, I would have stuck with higher, but I'm doing relatively well otherwise, and I don't want to get my points and then fail Irish and have to repeat. :P

If anyone could give me some topics to prepare for the composition I'd be very grateful!
