Higher -> Ordinary Irish

Mede

This is a different post to the current dropping from higher to ordinary Leaving Cert Irish post.

A few weeks ago my school had us sign off the sheet that was being sent to the Dep. of Education with our subjects and levels as I'm sure every other school has done already but on that sheet it had higher Irish and i now want to drop to ordinary because the course is too big and is taking away from other subjects but can I still drop from higher to ordinary Irish now that the sheet has been signed? I know that you can change your level on the day itself by asking for the appropriate level paper that you want to take.I'm not sure but I thought that Irish was different because of the oral and whatever level you sit for the oral is the level you must take for the written exam is this correct? and can I still drop to ordinary? (I haven't had the official oral Irish exam yet.)

Any info would be great from people who know or have dropped after they signed off the sheet

The examiner of the oral won't know what level you're doing! So don't worry, you can still drop down as late as the day of the written exam!
