    I thought it was quite hard. (Honours). Paper 1 itself was easy enough though.

    Honours.
    Paper one was ok.
    Tape was f***in dreaful
    I couldnt understand their retarded accents and I felt like storming out of the room
    Worst tape I have EVER done
    They should get people that have at least mastered the art of talkng, to be featured in the tape
    Is that too much to f***in ask?
    I might fail Irish now all because of oral and aural. For my talking exam I had a retarded examiner who barely knew Irish

    Ugh it went terribly. In a massive centre, people timed their pen-clicking/yawns/page turning very well with exactly when the answers were being said... I got myself into a frustrated rage about it :P But I suppose I can't blame my misfortune on them!

    That had to be one of the easiest listenings I've done in forever!?

    It was funny at the start because my examiner, who doesn't speak Irish was looking at us all when we hadn't started writing at:
    "Leamh anois go curmach ar do scrudpapear..."

    And she didn't know what to tell us on Paper 1 when we asked do we tick Irish or English!?
    XD

    Nope, she said oxygen on the tape so obviously it is acceptable as an answer.

    Don't mean to sound cocky, but I'd be expecting 100% in that, I go to an Irish school so obviously that's going to be one of the easiest bits of the Leaving for us, but even so I thought it was a LOT easier than anyones we have done in the past.

    I'd say I got about 10 answers in ordinary. It sucked.
    I was sitting so far away from the tape recorder and everyone was making so much noise. Nearly stood up to tell them to shut up for just half an hour. It's the leaving cert people!

    It was a fairly easy one. I reckon the question, why didnt your man get the ticket for oxegen, according to Sile? will catch people out. People won't realise it was Siles opinion and not your mans.

    She said Baile na Phoinse (I spelled it right on the paper lol) right after oxegen so I'd say it was needed or else it's a 1 marker.
