    I have studied 3 Irish poems for the Filíocht section and I am having a hard time to pick which one I should do for the JC exam. Here are the poems:

    *Na Blátha Craige
    *Faoiseamh a Gheobhadsa
    *An Gleann inar Tógadh Mé

    Which do you think I should do? :confused:

    I learnt "Na blátha Craige" in school, I don't know what the others are though.
    You should probably learn at least two poems, each with completely different themes, incase none of the themes on the paper, are in your poem.
    In Na blátha Craige, the themes are mainly d áit duchais (birthplace) , maybe try one with sport

    Also if an option comes up for any of the poems you've studied, do the one you feel most comfortable with

    The themes are generally Dúlra.

    Sir, said none of these poems' themes have failed to ever come up in the Irish JC exam.

    Yeah the ones I find easiest to hardest are as follows:

    1. Na Blátha Craige The Rock Flowers
    2. An Gleann inar Tógadh Mé The Valley That Raised Me
    3. Faoiseamh a Gheobhadsa Relief I will get
