Higher Level Irish - Stair

Any hints, tips or ideas? What are people generally studying?

Maybe this is obvious to the majority of people but I only figured it out there a while ago

Learn the 6 female poets, all you need to know is where they were born etc..Flick back through the papers and you'll see there are some which haven come up in two years

With the Stair like Ogham etc just pot luck, I guess or note the last few years

I did the leaving cert last year and the one thing we were told was a dead cert to come up was one of either an fhiannaoict or an ruaraiocht(excuse the spelling). To my general dismay, seeing as i was greatly relying on thid, neither appeared on the paper. For this reason id say defo study these two as you should be guaranteed one.

The writers are also pretty handy as you only have to know the basic facts. Handy marks really. Aside from that I dont really know-something on the mean cumarsaide usually appears but you coudnt be sure. Of course ou could just play it really safe and learn them all but at this late stage i guess that isnt an option.:)

Best of Luck!!!

Technically I have learnt them all, bar the people section and two others - but I'll never remember them all...so I'm kinda hoping people will have some ideas.
Definitely doing Ruraiocht and Fiannaiocht as I heard it didn't come up last year...
