This first desk in the front row in the sight of the teacher was his until he did his leaving cert.
It may have been in Inter Cert, or more likely in Fifth Year, when he returned an essay entitled “Thus Spake Zara MotorCar”.
According to an opinion poll published today by the on-line news service, Tuairisc.ie, over half the public believe that Irish should remain a ‘compulsory’ subject for the Leaving Cert.
Results of the Tuairisc.ie/Millward Brown poll show that a majority believes that Irish should retain its status as one of the ‘compulsory’ subjects at Leaving Cert level.
The study of Irish at Leaving Cert level became a live issue in the last general election, when Enda Kenny proposed abolishing its ‘compulsory’ status.
“I was absolutely appalled and very upset because she is obviously getting ready for her Leaving Cert,” a dúirt an Seanadóir.

#juniorcert irish paper one was piss easy — tamara // junior cert (@quitkane) 7 Meitheamh 2018 IRISH PAPER 1 WAS SO SIMPLE I WALKED OUT HALF AN HOUR EARLY HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY TO ME #juniorcert — levi / junior cert (@gothchoni) 7 Meitheamh 2018 Me coming out of Irish paper 1 pic.twitter.com/L5vukkZZVa — Grace/Junior Cert (@dreamy_dolan_) 7 Meitheamh 2018 #juniorcert i feel like the nice enough irish exam was the calm before the storm (maths) — emma | junior cert (@hugfromdan) 7 Meitheamh 2018 Ar ndóigh ní scrúdú Gaeilge go gearán faoi chanúint Dhún na nGall sa chluastuiscint.
If your go-to trope about the Irish language is a book you studied for the leaving cert THREE DECADES ago, maybe you don’t have all the relevant information to hand.
CnaG spokeswoman, Brenda Ní Ghairbhí, said that the course tutor was “an experienced Leaving Cert examiner and she will help students prepare for the new layout of the oral exam, now worth 40% of the overall mark in the Irish exam.
“Above all else, Conradh na Gaeilge’s course gives Leaving Cert students a great opportunity to practise their spoken Irish more before the actual test and as such, they can approach the oral exam in April with more confidence in their own ability to speak the language.” Hand-outs will be provided and there will be discussions on the most common interview mistakes.
Were Renua about to surprise us with a proposal for a second, more challenging, Leaving Cert syllabus, one designed to meet the needs of native and fluent speakers, who are currently forced to debase themselves before the Sraith Pictiúr?
That might be no more than a subtle reminder of Enda Kenny’s reluctantly abandoned plan to scrap Irish as a core Leaving Cert subject, which made headlines during the last general election, but the next part is more interesting.
#juniorcert just did some irish study and im hoping my boys micillín, seamus and padraig are there for me — emma | junior cert (@hugfromdan) 6 Meitheamh 2018 #juniorcert OMG I LOVED IRISH MICILLÍN AND SEAMUS WYA XOX — emma | junior cert (@hugfromdan) 7 Meitheamh 2018 Mheas duine eile go mb’fhéidir go raibh sé sa chinniúint go mbeadh Eoghan McDermott luaite sa scrúdú.
Is iontach mar a thug Ó Cadhain leis in ‘Fuíoll Fuine’ saol seachránach deireadh seachtaine na cathrach – an t-uaigneas do-inste, na seansálaithe a mbíonn cathair ar bith ar snámh leo, lucht geall a chur a mbíonn an dead cert acu go síoraí, na mná neamhcháiréiseacha, ‘a roinnfeadh a gcuid go fairsing ar an té a ba luaithe chucu’ – Fáiscín, bean de chuid RTÉ sa chás seo – an stríopach réchúiseach, an t-imeacht fánach i ndiaidh a chinn idir oíche agus lá agus tóir aige ar an soilíos ar fud sráideanna agus cúlbhealaí.
They should make it non-compulsory… because there’s other students who are not good at Irish, so, it’s easier for them to get on well in the Leaving Cert.

Fact that I had a dream about @eoghanmcdermo last night telling me the Junior Cert wasn’t important and then he shows up in irish paper 1 must be a sign 🤪 #juniorcert pic.twitter.com/9JYpGlRW6H — Lara Carney (@laracarneyy) 7 Meitheamh 2018

“I studied hard for my leaving cert when I did it so it’s not fair that they get 100% for the orals now😤” Aye but you didn’t have a global pandemic disrupting your exams, loss of all class time and the very real fear of your at risk loves ones dying for added stress — Jo Lee (@joelymc) March 19, 2020
