Some of the language in a reading comprehension on the topical issue of artificial intelligence was challenging

The higher-level Irish paper was student-friendly and manageable, but the phrasing of some questions was challenging, teachers have said.

“This included a question on adjectives in one of the poems and, in the question on the studied drama, An Triail, candidates were ased about how shame influences how the main character is treated; this phrasing would have required students to do some thinking.

“It was more technical than many may have hoped but this acted as the challenge to better distinguish the top scorers,” she said. “While the topic may have been challenging to some, the questions were approachable and clear, asking for students to take directly from the text.”
