Leaving Cert Irish

Illkillya

I'm doing Irish higher level, and ppl told me that theres some sheet that has passages which I must read aloud to the examiner in the oral exam.
I missed a lot of school lately, so if the teacher handed out these sheets, I didn't get them. Is there anywhere I can get them online? How long are they, etc?
Also, when is the oral exam?

there is ilk , paragraphs in irish numbered 1 to 10 , you choose 5 or something to that effect and the oral examiner can ask you too read out aloud one of those 5. quite an easy part of the exam. as for getting them , you would have to ask your teacher or class m8.

There's 15 passages on the sheet (well about 5 sheets actually) and you give the examiner a list of 5. The examiner will pick one of the five and ask you to read it aloud from the sheet - an easy 30 marks in the bag.
