Straightforward questions the business for students

Business was on the agenda for Leaving Certificate students around the country yesterday morning.

John Mcdonnell, subject spokesperson, Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland, said short questions on the higher-level paper contained straightforward topics like tax, delegation and mergers.

He thought the applied business question about a community setting up a farmers’ market in a closed- down factory was topical, and said the long questions covered main areas of the syllabus.
