    Hey, I have an Irish essay prepared for technology & social networks- advantages & disadvantages etc. If the media essay comes up would my essay fit under that title? I'm afraid it focuses too much on technology and it's advances. Thanks :)

    I have essays on
    Poverty
    The education system
    Young people (education, drugs, internet etc.)
    Media
    Dangers of the internet
    An Gaeilge
    Elderly people

    I also have a debate opening and closing which I'm going to learn off

    Should that have me covered? :o

    The essays that I have prepared are:

    Poverty in Ireland
    Crime in Ireland
    Disagreeing with the idea that today's youth are lazy
    The Education System in Ireland
    Irish people need to be more careful with their drinking

    Do you guys think that I'm covered with these essays?

    I could, if needs be, put together essays on "Ireland nowadays" and "The importance of sport" with notes I have lying around.

    Hey, so I've done no study for Irish at all (doubt I'll be counting it) and I just want to make sure I pass it.. What should I look at now? What essays for paper 1? I don't think I'll look at the poems and stories, sure I could probably pass paper 2 from the comprehensions alone.

    I'm in the same situation as you regarding Irish...

    If anyone could send any aisté's or even a few notes or key phrases to use my way I'd be eternally grateful!

    Hi I would really appreciate being sent on a Mean Chumarsaide essay. Preferably of good standard but it isn't the bee all and end all. :)
    I could swap but all my essays are rubbish quality. My teacher just slapped a d/c on them and didn't tell me why.
    FUUUUU

    I'd say that's a fair risk alright. Throw together some spiel about technology/internet and daoine oga.

    If we got an essay on teicneolaíocht, would it be too limited to talk about the internet and social media? I mentioned it to my mother and she was like "Oh you'd want to mention Sat Navs and things" :rolleyes:

    I think it'd be okay but I'd like some opinion.

    Right so i do pass irish now and i have my irish leaving cert on monday.
    i know you'll all probably be like wow this is so stupid but i'm just wondering if you think it'd be possible for me to sit the honours paper?
    like i know i wouldn't do great in it but it'd probably be easier for me to get a c3 in it than an a1 in pass, especially having 40% already done with the oral like.

    any thoughts from anyone who's done honours irish before?

    you should do lots and lots of irish aural tapes. watch 50 shades of gaeilge to get you in the mood. its a really funny video on youtube

    So, I think that I'm going to study Oisín because it seems that the SEC are screwing with the whole predictions thing this year and I've become completely paranoid... That and Oisín is actually my favourite prós on the curriculum, much better than that Dís crap! :cool:

    It seems like no one wants to do the scéal which is perfect for me, grand being different. But I mean there's so much time, my mocks story was 14 pages long, whereas it seems the essays wont go over a couple of pages, what do ye do with all the time?

    Well fortunately I've never really had to put much thought into them because I went to a Gaelscoil, but I'd imagine since the last two years were Sonas/Dóchas that something sad like Brón/Aiféal would be a likely guess.
