Pupils say slán to Irish with a difficult Leaving Cert paper 2

Some difficult comprehension passages opened the second higher-level Leaving Certificate Irish paper yesterday morning.

According to the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) subject spokesman Robbie Cronin, the article about historic and modern censuses featured very technical language.

He and Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) subject spokesperson Ruth Morrissey agreed that many of the questions about it contained quite difficult vocabulary.
