Yup...

Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann

Formed in Jan. 1951 with the aim of promoting traditional Irish music and with the aim also of organising an annual festival of traditional dance + music. The first Fleadh Cheoil was organised for May of that year.
Fleadh Cheoil gave traditional music a platform where they could play to an appreciative audience. The 1st Fleadh Cheoil only attracted a few 100 musicians but nowadays it is a huge international festival attracting tens of 1000's of musicians from the four corners of the world.
Branches of Comhaltas were formed all over Ireland and they organise classes, concert competitions and sessions at local level. They have county and provincial fleadhs.
Comhaltas now has branches in every county in Ireland, in Britain, the U.S.A, Canada and worldwide such as Japan, Hungary, Sardinia and Australia.
Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann has one of the most valuable national archives of traditional music and song in the country. This collection is housed in Culturlann na hEireann and contains over 4000 hours of edited priceless material which is being added to regularly.

I know they're super detailed, so do what you want with em

Insurance notes for JC business!

WHY IS INSURANCE IMPORTANT?
Removes Risk: Insurance removes the risk of financial loss associated with personal and business life, i.e. theft, fire, accidental damage, etc.
Dependants: Insurance provides individuals with financial security for their dependants should the policy holder die, e.g. life assurance.
Innocent Victims: Insurance is necessary so that innocent victims of accidents will receive compensation for injury or damage suffered as a result of the actions of others.
Saving: Insurance is a means of saving.
Economy: Insurance companies invest heavily in the economy in the form of government stock, equities, and property.
Employment: Insurance companies are major employers in Ireland.

PRINCIPLES OF INSURANCE
There are five basic principles or rules of insurance:
INSURABLE INTEREST
Financial Interest: In order to obtain insurance, a person or business must have an insurable (financial) interest in the item they wish to insure.
Benefit and Suffer: To have a financial interest in something means you benefit from the existence of the item and would suffer financially by its loss.
Examples:
• you have an insurable interest in your own house but not in your neighbour’s house
• you have an insurable interest in the life of a racing dog but not in a pet dog, as this would represent a sentimental loss rather than a financial loss
UTMOST GOOD FAITH
Trust: Every contract of insurance is based on trust.
Proposal Form: A person taking out insurance is required to answer all questions on the proposal form truthfully, and to disclose all relevant information regarding themselves and the item to be insured.
Material Facts: Relevant information is known as ‘material facts’ and would include anything that would help the insurance company to calculate the risk involved and the premium to be charged.
Void Contract: The failure to disclose relevant information, whether accidental or deliberate, may result in the policy being cancelled and a refusal to pay compensation.
Examples:
• a history of family illness in the case of life assurance
• previous accidents in the case of motor insurance

INDEMNITY
Profit: This principle states that no person should make a profit from insurance.
Same Financial Position: The objective of insurance will always be to place the insured person in the same financial position after the loss as they were in before the loss occurred.
Example: Sally Beatty purchased a car for €16,000. Three years later the car was stolen but the insurance company agreed to pay Sally only €9,000, i.e. the value of a three-year-old car of that make. The insurance company will not pay out €16,000, as this would have placed Sally in a better position than she was in before the loss occurred.
SUBROGATION
Indemnity: Subrogation is related to the principle of indemnity.
Remaining Property: Once compensation has been paid for damage suffered, any property of value still remaining, whether intact or partly damaged, becomes the property of the insurance company.
Example: A stolen car that is subsequently recovered, after compensation has been paid.
Right to Sue: Once the insured person has received compensation, any rights to sue a third party for damage caused revert to the insurance company.
Example: A person who slips on a shop floor due to the negligence of the shopkeeper. If that person receives compensation under his or her personal accident insurance policy, he or she must allow the insurance company to take legal action against the negligent shopkeeper. To allow the insured to do both would result in a profit being made from insurance.
CONTRIBUTION
Indemnity: Contribution is related to the principle of indemnity.
Multiple Insurers: It seeks to prevent a person making a profit from insurance by insuring an item with more than one insurance company.
Contribute: In such a situation, the compensation will only be paid once, with each of the insurance companies involved contributing to the loss in proportion to the sums insured with them.

Here are some notes I made for Section 1 Question 1 for CSPE (the people/buildings question). I added some extra ones that probably aren't necessary. Most people will know most of the people here, but it's a good idea to have a read over this before the exam.

I realise that this thread is pretty much dead but if anyone has any notes for english (doesn't matter what section) they would be greatly appreciated :P
My english teacher is terrible and doesn't give us any useful notes.
The drama I studied is 'Romeo and Juliet' and the novel is 'The Outsiders' by S.E Hinton.
If anyone is looking for notes in other subjects, let me know. I have a lot of notes for science that I shortened down as much as I could and I wouldn't mind sharing those if anyone needs them.
Good luck on your mocks everyone! (mine start tommorow)

Don't think I have any of my old notes from my JC left over but I may have something useful:

I used this for my JC on R&J and it was a really helpful revision guide: http://www.litcharts.com/lit/romeo-and-juliet
Click on the picture in the left and fill in your email and they'll email you the PDF straight away.

They also have one on the Outsiders (http://www.litcharts.com/lit/the-outsiders). I don't know how good it is, but generally they're notes tend to be good, so maybe give it a go too!

Sparknotes and Cliffnotes are also pretty handy for getting quick summaries and notes on different novels, dramas and poems.

Best of luck tomorrow!

Does anybody have Chinese Cinderella quotes ,would really appreciate it

Ceapadóireacht: Timpiste

Bhí an ceolchoirm críochnaithe agus bhí mé ag fanacht don bhus. Is cuimhin liom an lá sin is a tharla sé inné. Oíche fuar dorcha i lár mí Meán Fómhair a bhí ann. Fuair mo chara Scott ticéidí do cheolchoirm a bhí ar siúl san 02. Bhí The Script ag seinm ann. Chuamar go Baile Átha Cliath ar an traein na maidin sin. Bhí sé plódaithe le daoine. Bhí mé ag tnúth go mór leis an gceolchoirm. Bhí atmaisféar leictreach ag an gceolchoirm. Chonaic mé slua idir óg agus aosta ann. Bhíomar ag canadh agus ag screadaíl go hard. Bhí an-chraic againn ag an gceolchoirm. Ach, bhí casadh sa scéal.

Bhí sé in uair mhairbh na hoíche. Bhíomar ag fanacht leis an mbus. Bhí na daoine ag canadh agus ag gáire. Bhí cúpla duine ar meisce freisin. Tamaill ina dhiadh sin, tháinig an bus. Shiúileamar isteach sa bhus agus gan a thuilleadh moille bhíomar ar an mbóthar go dtí an stáisiúin traenach. Ní raibh an trácht go dona. Cúpla nóiméad níos déanaí, thangamar go cúinne dáinséarch. Thiomáin an bus timpeall an cúinne go curamach. Gan choinne, chonaic mé carr ag teacht inár dtreo. Ba léir go raibh sé ag tiomáint i bhfad ró-thapaidh. Bhrúigh an tiománaí na coscáin agus chas sé an roth stiúrtha. Bhuail an carr an bus. Phléasc roth tosaigh an bhus agus chuala mé torann uafásach. Cheap mé go raibh mé marbh. Spraoithiománaithe a bhí iontu.

Ar feadh nóiméad bhí ciúnas ann. Ansin, chuala mé duine ag screadaíl. Bhí mo chara Scott gan aithne gan urlabhra. Bhí pian uafásach ina lámh. Mar dhonas ar na scéal, chonaic mé deatach dubh ag teacht amach as an inneall. Ní raibh a fhios agam cad ba cheart dom a dhéanamh. Bhí rí rá agus ruaille buaille ann. Rug buachaill amháin greim docht daingin ar an gcamán agus bhris sé an fhuinneog. Ansin, dhreap na daoine as an mbus. Nuair a bhí mé taobh amuigh den bhus chonaic mé a lán daoine ann. Chuala mé bonnán na nGardaí, an otharcharr agus an Briogáid Dóiteáin ag teacht. Mhúch siad an tine agus chuir siad na daoine gortaithe ar an sínteáin. Chuir na Gardaí na spraoithiománaithe isteach sa charr. Ní bhfuair mé néal codlata an oíche sin!

People in History: A Farmer during the Agricultural Revolution

I am Seth Brothine and I live on a farm near the Nottingham region. When I was born in 1672, farming was a challenge for my family as we had very few cattle and crops. My father, Patrick taught me how to overcome living on the farm. We first have this open area called a common and it was very stressful to plant crops on this, due to the amount of birds that ate the seeds. It was also very narrow, had no fences and diseases spread rapidly among farm animals. However, from 1700 onwards, the Agricultural Revolution was created and loads of great changes took place in farming. The British Parliament passed laws called Enclosure Acts that allowed the big open fields and commons to be divided into compact farms. Each farm was then fenced off and sub-divided into smaller fields. However, the idea of enclosure was bad for some people because very poor peasants were given tiny farms and had to give up whilst labourers had nowhere to graze their animals. Robert Bakewell improved the breeding of cattle and sheep. Bakewell selected only the biggest and healthiest males and females for breeding purposes. By the time he died, cattle and sheep became very popular. In 1701, Jethro Tull invented a mechanical seed drill which allowed the farmers to plough their seeds straight and deep so the birds couldn’t get to them. Cyrus McCormack invented a mechanical reaper that could harvest cereal crops faster than before. Charles Townshend invented a four-field crop rotation in which no field was left fallow. The clover and turnips were used to feed cattle, so they became bigger and healthier. The Agricultural Revolution increased food supplies and led to population growth, rural unemployment and the Industrial Revolution.

People in History: Michelangelo

Michelangelo Buonarroti was a great Italian sculptor, painter and architect who was born near Florence in 1475. When he was young, he showed the people genius artistic talent and he was apprenticed to a well-known artist named Ghirlandaio. Michelangelo studied and admired the works of Donatello, who was a sculptor. When he finished his apprenticeship, he got a job sculpting statues in the Medici family’s gardens. Lorenzo the Magnificent, a famous patron of the arts, recognized the young man’s talent. Lorenzo the Magnificent, became his patron and treated him as a member of his family. Michelangelo’s mother died when he was only six. He spent four years working on the dome of the Sistine Chapel. He stood and scaffold and painted over his head, unlike the popular belief that he painted while laying down. He died in Rome in 1564. His remains were secretly returned to Florence and interred at the Basilica of Santa Croce, according to his wishes. Michelangelo was hit in the nose as a teenager by Pietro Torrigiano, a fellow art student at an art academy in Florence. The incident left him with a permanently crooked nose. In his old age, Michelangelo nearly lived as a hermit rarely coming into contact with others except when his work brought contact about. He lived in squalor despite being rich. Michelangelo sculpted David and Pieta, designed a dome for St. Peter’s Basilica and painted frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, all before he was 30 years old. He did not marry and had no children but was rumoured to have love affairs with Tommaso dei Cavalieri and the poet Vittoria Colonna.
