    Hi, I was told that in the Junior Cert you get marks in the Studied Poems and Stories sections for having the author's name and the poem/stories name spelled correctly. So i was wondering if anybody knows what is the correct way to spell these pieces and author's names (or are they right)
    Calua (sean mac mathuna)
    dioltas an mada rua (sean dalaigh)
    an t-ózón (maire aine nic gearailt) and
    teilifis (gabriel rosenstock)
    thank you

    An t-ózón and its poet are correct. An Teilifís has a 'fada' on the i and the poet is correct. Im not sure about the other two, my class havent done them

    The poet's name is spelt:

    Máire Áine Nic Gearailt

    Also the full name of the poem is "Teilifís (faoi m'iníon Saffron)" but you might get away with the abbreviated version since it's so common. I'd put in the full title to be safe, unless you can't remember it. It's worse to get the full name wrong than to omit it.
