    Can you do any 5, or must they be in order, ie. 1-5, 2-7, etc. Teachers are our school are telling different classes different things :confused:

    In my school my teacher just picked 5 random ones - 1,4,9,10,11 so i guess it just depends on your teacher. Hope that helps!!

    the reading passage is the easiest 30mks you can get in the leaving cert. that part of irish is an idiot proof question.

    only an idiot won't get at least 29 out of 30, seen as you can write in everything in phonetics on a sheet and take it in with you!!!

    I'm starting to get worried about Irish, I'm totally unprepared for the oral. Our idiot teacher is no help either.

    chill the beans man, the reading is worth 20% of your overall oral marks so unless you literally say nothing, you can't exactly fail it!

    so long as you can say about 10 sentences about yourself and family and what you want to do, your sorted. :cool: happy days. :v:

    Whatever about your Irish, try improving your English...

    As far as I remember it was any 5, and it's easy enough, don't worry about it.
