    Honours.

    They should get people that have at least mastered the art of talkng, to be featured in the tape
    Is that too much to f***in ask?

    honestly their blas was fine? it was actually nearly natural sounding.. a little forced but comprehendable. Just because you couldnt understand them doesnt make them retarded.. thought that was a little harsh tbh.

    I do honours I thought it was absolutely lovely way better than my mock one anyway and the Ulster Irish was soo slow it was so easy!! So I'm delighted with it!! As for Paper 1, thought the comprehensions were tricky enough but the essay titles were ok if you were prepared... which I wasn't very haha but sure! Be ok!

    Not to burst anyones bubble id say you'd have to say oxygen- baile na foinse (or whatever it was :() I thought it was a lot easier than most years??

    It was punchestown, written in Irish in a further down question- doubt theyd give marks from writing that down. Prob 'ceolchoirim' was required

    Couple questions I have:

    - Does anyone actually know how the 10 marks for Gaeilge are awarded in this? In my mock I made some slip ups in spellings on the logainmneacha mostly and I was docked the full 10 marks :?

    - What was the cause of the famine in I think the second announcement in Cuid A? For some reason known only to Zeuss I totally spaced out and realised I left it blank. I think I guess 'Aeraid na clioma' like a fool...

    - The last one in the very first announcement eluded me, as did the 'which relation to whateverhernamewas attended the college in the comhra...anyone recall? I was really hoping to go up from 81/100 (mock) to either an A2 or A1 and I think I've lost like 8-9 marks (inc. blunders or just mistakes I DON'T know about) for the eolas alone...

    Hope all exams are going well for everyone anyway.

    About the 10 marks for Irish - That shouldnt have happen in your mocks and most likely wont in this exam! You would only lose the full ten if your irish was absolutely horrific , which I doubt it is since your doing honours!
    From my mock papers I got 8/10 for honours and i made a few little mistakes with seimhus / place names...

    Cause of famine was the change on= aeraid na cruinne.

    Am I right in presuming that there are only 2 counties in Ulster that sit the leaving cert? Why do all of us have to suffer at the hands of their undecipherable accents?

    Thanks for replying!

    Are you serious about aeraid na cruinne because I TOTALLY guessed that! Your reply has really brightened things up for me, since I tend to nitpick my performance based on my recollection of it to death. Thanks again :/

    Me in January: I agree!

    Me now: Having listened to RnaG for most of the year, I can say that it isn't the accent so much as the parts where you can tell they've worked to make it difficult to hear. Like 2 of the questions I wasn't sure of were solely because the words sounded really jumbled.

    Also, why do they include obscure logainmneacha that few people will know and even fewer will spell right? (based on my experience)

    I learned a huge list of place names and none of them came up, but some fairly obscure ones sure did...

    Well I thought the aural was quite easy.
    Just had a couple of issues though: I only got "Cnoc" and "Chiarraí"
    I wrote 24 down for the award thing.
    And for the oxegen I wrote down.
    "Ceolchoirm Oxegen i mBaile Phoinse".
    I hope everyone noticed that Baile Phoinse was spelt on the last question of that part of the aural.
    So if they had it spelt on the question below I doubt they'll give marks for it. Although I just wrote it down anyway! Just in case. :D

    Climate change, no? Like global warming (that's teamh domhanda specifically).

    Like I said, I guessed it and am pretty happy somebody has confirmed it is right!

    [QUOTE=I hope everyone noticed that Baile Phoinse was spelt on the last question of that part of the aural. [/QUOTE]

    Nope! My mind was elsewhere.... I spelt it 'fuinse'... Should get marks for the eolas but docked in the Gaeilge if there is justice in the stars.

    Yeah im pretty sure you would get full marks - spelling isnt very important or quoting directly from the tape - its about understanding what was heard so your thing is pretty much the same as the answer given! 90 is for facts and 10 for irish!
