VIDEO: STATE EXAMS: Bhí sé go maith, say students after ‘challenging’ paper

Leaving Certificate students completed their Irish exams with well-received second papers in the subject yesterday morning.

More than half of the 47,000 people entered for examination in Gaeilge took the ordinary level papers, with a comprehension piece on golfer Rory McIlroy featuring in paper 2.

Both this and an article about Hillary Clinton’s run for the White House were deemed suited to ordinary level by Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) subject spokesman Robbie Cronin.
