Irish Paper 2 gives Junior Cert students a tough afternoon
Ruth Morrissey, the Teachers’ Union of Ireland subject spokeswoman, said it is unusual that students were asked about a place featured in any of their chosen novels, plays or short stories. They would be more used to questions about themes or issues in the prescribed literature.
She said the letters in Paper 2 were also challenging, with very specific information required in two of the choices about a school celebration or a meeting with a hero.
