This will be like 6 marks so only a few sentences. Literally all you needs to say is that all the logainmneacha in the poem show how he was required to travel all over the country just to do work. Since there's loads of place names it shows how much travelling he did and shows how tough his work was.

Ok that's grand I just couldn't think of a reason why they'd be significant :pac:
Thanks

I have no notes on logainmneacha, what should I say for it?

There's a paragraph on logainmneacha in Fiúntas:

Baintear úsáid as raidhse (abundance) logainmneacha san amhrán [sa dán], logainmneacha atá i dTiobraid Árann, i gCill Chainnigh agus i bPort Láirge. Tá sé soiléir gur thug na spailpíní a n-aghaidh ar na trí chontae seo mar go raibh fostaíocht le fáil iontu, go háirithe i nGleann Órga Thiobraid Árann.

Bhíodh na margaí híreála ar siúl go tráthrialta chomh maith i gCluain Meala agus i mbaile Thiobraid Árann.

"Ba mhinic mo thriall go Cluain gheal Meala
's as sin go Tiobraid Árann"

Dhéanadh an spailpín áirithe seo an-chuid oibre i gCarraig na Siúire, i gCallainn, i gCaiseal agus i nDurlas. Tugann na logainmneacha seo údaracht (authenticity) agus cúlra fírinneach stairiúil don amhrán.

It's nothing too brilliant really but at least the grammar is right :P

How do you know that, was there a sample question on logainmneacha?

What was the 'An Triail' mock question on exam craft, we had the tecníocht drámata, wouldn't have had a clue how to answer that only for the teacher gave us a sample essay before the mock and told us it was coming up!

Because my teacher, clare greally in the insitiute said that it would never be worth more than 6 marks. Theres just not enough to write about for a 15 marker

And the aiste? I've only properly learned technology, the Irish language and the recession/immigration.

Does anyone have any good essays on cyber bullying for higher level Irish? Maybe even some notes or bullet points etc. Looking for a high-standard but any essay will be appreciated! Thanks!

I think it is the easiest, you just need a page & half, really just to say it was a dirbheathaisneis , just need to know first 8 chapter, his young life, just need to be able to write about his young life, fun they had, traditional life, humour in the book. Mention a few things that happened stories about "cat agus piscin" etc. Need to know he started school in 1947 & at 1958 he was fifteen & that was summer working, as some past questions ask what occurred in 1958 etc.

What would be most likely as a 15 mark question in An Spailpin?

I obviously missed something but where was the humour in Dis?

Any point studying poetry and prose asked in last 2 years?

I'm doing them as well, it's just that cyber bullying was a huge topic back in November due to all of the suicides. Meain Cumarsaide and Daoine Oga both tie into cyber bullying but I want to have an in-depth one on cyber bullying just in case. Thanks for your advice, though

Spailpin fanach question might be the meadaracht of the dan or general about the life of the farm labourer and dis lol umm I didnt see humour either but I guess its 'funny' how she told lies to the survey girl to get a rise out of her hub because he has no interest in her

I'm a repeat too and looking for a B1/A2, the oral went really good so I'm optimistic! So just to clarify you are only studying Daoine Óga and Meain Cumarsaide for the Aiste?
I'm studying Dís and Cacá Milis for the Pros!
