Repeat of 2008 exam questions ‘a concern’
The Stair na Gaeilge (history of Irish) section asked candidates to answer two out of six questions, with internal choices. But all six were identical to those in the same section of the 2008 exam, apart from the instruction yesterday that some required longer points of information than others.
“This is underhand and mean-spirited, the only explanation I can think of is that they are trying to catch the students out,” said Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) subject spokesperson Robbie Cronin.
