Junior Cert: New format business studies paper given thumbs up

Questions about corporation tax, online shopping, a proposed ‘latte levy’, industrial relations at Ryanair, and contactless payments were among the 'everyday' topics spread across this year’s Junior Cert Business Studies paper, the first examination of the new syllabus.

With students in previous years sitting two separate papers, this year saw the introduction of just one common level paper tackled across two hours.
