Labour/ capital is quite likely.

Imperfect competition I would say will come upin some shape or form as a large part of Q.2

we've been told to learn:
the government and the economy chapter thoroughly.
especially the advantages and disadvantages of a current budget defecit
effects of increases in direct and indirect tax.

I'm thinking oligopoly for a market structure

As a part of a question Id expect Keynes to come come due to the recent love-in with him.

the budget deficit and also banking, bascially everything that has been in the news the past few weeks has everyone thinking that there will be a question on it!! thats what i'll be learnin especially cos the budget was earlier this year! the micro-there seems to be a pattern just look through the exam papers. hope this helps!!

whatever happens id say it will be 3 macro and 5 micro.Last year 5 macro came up,thats my thinking about it.

The Keynes idea, from Shamrok, would be topical with talk of fiscal stimulus being around lately. I never knew that leaving cert economics had a section on history of economic thought; maybe I'm just getting old. The point about banks "creating money" would also be relevant... If there's a section on central banks, that would be topical (in the world of econ nerds) too.

Good luck, budding future economists

Micro
Half and half Q.2 (Imperfect and Oligopoly)

Half and Half Q.3 (Labour and Capital) - Keynes

Macro
How banks create money - Central Bank - Functions of the ECB

Budget - Everything

dermo1990

something on the impact of interest rates on the economy, functions of the ECB possibly

Yea guys macro is very like business which i do and I also do accounting
so iam getting the three for the price of one plus LCVP(junior cert business)

I was think that if you just learned off all macro you would be grand
and one micro

In 2006 anyway, when I took up Eco in 6th, my teacher purely focused on Micro Economics, touched on Macro. The way the paper is (or was) structured, you could do really well in Either the Micro/Macro, attempt your way through your weak-spot, and still come out good. All I did was made some predictions on what Macro to focus on and studied ALL of the Macro.

I got an A2H.

@cowboy - no, its nothing like business studies. Go away with that "autocratic" theoristic BS. It was graded more like an Art than a Science - which is why I hated it so much.

Economics is the study of the science of business though.
