The leaving cert takes your best 6 out of 7 subjects. For most I would think its their backup subject. For some they will ignore it completely and just do well in 6.

For those who have an exemption, whats the issue? As others have pointed out - there may not be another room/teacher to supervise.

As long as they are not disrupting anyone, keeping the head down and doing their own work there should be no issue. The class can just ignore them as the teacher leads the class.

I failed foundation Irish - just didn't give a crap. Did accounting in my Irish classes and the class went on without me. Everyone else just got on with their work whilst I did accounting stuff without making a sound or disruptong anyone. The class managed.

I have a feeling you wouldn't react the same way about this situation in another subject - give it over. Irish isn't something the kids care about except the few who do higher. For most it'll be their seventh subject and the class will be a joke. There were 30 ish in my Irish class and we were the worst ordinary class as we all just didn't care about it.

Maybe you should have paid more attention in English class.
