Economics students tested on Brexit budget
Aoife Noctor of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI), said the higher-level paper was a good broad test of the course. It was very topical, with references to Brexit, the property market including social housing, rising property prices, and rent control.
The paper was manageable, with good variety and straightforward short questions. Ms Noctor said some parts of the long questions may have been challenging, but this encouraged students to apply their knowledge of the subject.
