I am not even joking when I say I have not done a scrap of work for this paper. I'll probably just skip the poetry and prose and make up An Triail on the spot.

That was a seriously nice paper! Actually so happy with Irish ^.^

The comp was lovely, When I saw Steve I was thrilled.

I did the question on treithe and Niamh chinn oir for Oisin.

Mo grasa question was lovely, and eicolai was grand, wasnt keen on the 20 mark but it was fine.

That was grand! The comprehensions were a dream!! The Maidhc question was nice! It was strange to see 3 questions for Oisin, gave me a bit of a fright, but they were grand.

That was a very nice paper Happy with Irish now! Hoping they don't go too hard with the markings seen as it was so nice

Damn I wrote about the cruachás of Oisin on leaving Tir an nOg, thinking it meant like the hard times he experienced when he came back to Ireland. Turns out it meant the dilemma he was in. Knew I should have done the bealoidis question instead :mad:

Please tell me we only had to do 2 of the 3 right?!

Thought it was grand overall, nothing too hard, I wasn't impressed with the way the part B of each comprehension was divided into 2 parts, that made them very long!

An Triail question was eh… unexpected, I only ever really prepared fora question on one of the women or the techniques. It was fine though, my answer ended up being a bit sexually charged I said "Is rud scanrúil é go mbaineann Pádraig earraíocht as Máire chun gneás a fháil!" And then I said "Ní raibh Máire in ann é a chreidiúint nach raibh Pádraig anseo chin í agus a leanabh a fheiceáil ach chun, Maillí, an striapach, "a fheiceáil"!"

I misread the Q, I did all 3 anyway but I think, going by what the other poster said you only had to do 2. Delighted because my ii) answer wasn't great so ill most likely get marked on my best 2.

I did the same, I thought it said his cruachás on uair gur fhág sé tír na nóg or something, is that not his hardship from the moment he left tir na nog? I am pretty sure it wasn't just his dilemma?

After reflecting on the question, I realise I may have been wrong. Although cruachás does mean dilemma, I believe in that particular context it does mean his hardship. Thank god for that

would you have lost mark if you reworded the answers for the coomprehension but made some spelling mistakes. i dont think i did but was just wondering.

Well if you spell things wrong you prob would lose marks for the Gaeilge, but you still got the info marks.

As said above, what you did was correct.

Last year it was also it two bits, but people often left out the second part (according the Chief Examiner's report). So this year they made it clear to help people.

I'd say there's a fair chance of Oisín (or Cáca Milis) coming up tomorrow, to contrast with last year's Hurlamaboc. If Oisín comes up, then I doubt they'd put Spailpín on it as they're both old, anonymous pieces of literature, so I'd say the poem would be Géibheann, Colscaradh or Mo Ghrása.

I was right about imirce and/or Gaeilge coming up, if that means anything to people relying on predictions :P

Well you were right about Oisín and right about Mo Ghrása also!

rathsan

can anyone tell me the answers for question 6a on both reading comps have always been bad at these

Over all I suppose it was grand really.

Those comprehensions were amazingly simple, apart from picking out the genitive which I can never do right.

The 'A Thig na Tit Orm' question was really nice and straight forward.

'Mo Ghra sa' was very similar to our mock question.

The 'Oisin' question was a bit tricky though trying to come up with 2 reasons why I like a particular trait :L I would have liked to get more length out of that question if I'm honest.

RabbitHearted

i have never seen nicer comprehensions and had literally just looked over padraig this morning so that was grand, mo ghra-sa was really nice but i contemplated jumping out the window when i saw oisin. i just didn't know it. in the end i ended up getting a good answer for the treithe bealoidis but completly ran out of time on the niamh questions, got two paragraphs down and scribbled 'ta bron agam, ta an t-am thart' at the bottom of the page :P the examiner better have a sense of humour
