In Imlitir 20/2010 ainmn鱈tear an d叩n Caoineadh Airt U鱈 Laoghaire mar cheann de ch炭ig
dh叩n ainmnithe, ar a dtugtar D叩nta Breise, at叩 mar rogha amh叩in sa mh鱈r Litr鱈ocht

Maidir le ceisteanna scr炭daithe a dfh辿adfa鱈 a chur ar an d叩n f辿achfaidh Coimisi炭n na
Scr炭duithe St叩it chuige nach mbeidh aon iarrth坦ir faoi mh鱈bhunt叩iste is cuma c辿n leagan

Circular 0071/2010
To the Management Authorities of Second Level Schools
Leaving certificate Irish syllabuses effective from 1.9.10
1 Revised literature course for examination in 2012, 2013, and 2014 
clarification regarding the poem Caoineadh Airt U鱈 Laoghaire (Higher Level)
2 Timing of examinations  Papers 1 and 2 at Ordinary and Higher Levels, and
the Foundation Level paper.
3 Leaving Certificate Applied  students who sit their Irish examination in Year
1 of the programme.
1 Clarification regarding the poem Caoineadh Airt U鱈 Laoghaire (Higher Level)
The management authorities are requested to draw this clarification with regard to the
poem Caoineadh Airt U鱈 Laoghaire to the attention of the Irish teachers in your schools
who are at present or who may at a future date be teaching the updated Leaving
Certificate Irish syllabus (higher level).
Circular letter 20/2010 lists the poem Caoineadh Airt U鱈 Laoghaire as one of five
prescribed poems, called D叩nta Breise (additional poems), that form one option in the
Litr鱈ocht Bhreise (additional literature) section. Certain lines are prescribed from the
original text of the poem (80 lines in total) which must be studied.
The Department of Education and Skills understands that the lines from the poem are not
identical in all of the textbooks that are in use or that may at a future date be in use in
classrooms. The lines shown in all textbooks are identical in the case of 52 of those lines.
In the case of a further 28 lines however the versions differ as between certain of the
textbooks. The two versions in use in textbooks are set out overleaf.
Teachers and students are advised to study either of the two versions of the poem, as
shown overleaf.
In relation to examination questions on the poem that may be set, the State Examinations
Commission will ensure that no candidate will be disadvantaged as a result of the version
of the poem that they study. Both versions of the poem will be printed on the examination
paper. With regard to examinations therefore, teachers and students are free to
choose whichever of the two versions of the poem, as shown overleaf.
2 Timing of Paper 1 and 2 in Gaeilge at Leaving Certificate Ordinary and
Higher level, and the Foundation Level paper in the examinations from 2012
onwards.
The time shown in the syllabuses issued earlier this year reflects the advice of the NCCA
syllabus committee. An additional 20 minutes will be added to the time for these
examinations as part of the initiative introduced in a number of subjects in 2000 on foot
of the Report of the Expert Group on Certificate Examinations in relation to the
arrangements for the assessment of candidates with special needs. The extra 20 minutes
will be shown on the examination timetables issued by the State Examinations
Commission. The syllabuses on the Departments website are being amended to include
this information.
3 Leaving Certificate Applied Programme  students who take the
examination in Year 1 of the programme
As indicated in Circulars 0042/2007, and 0056/2010, this is to remind all schools that
students who sit their LCA Gaeilge Chumars叩ideach examination in year 1 of the
programme, in 2011, will be required to follow the new syllabus issued with Circular
0056/2010, under which 40% of the marks will be available for oral assessment. For
students who sit the examination in Year 2 of the programme, the revised syllabus will
not apply until the 2012 examinations. Details of the assessment arrangements will issue
very shortly to schools from the State Examinations Commission.
Please bring this Circular to the attention of teachers of Irish. Pease also provide a copy to
the appropriate representatives of parents and teachers for transmission as appropriate to
individual parents and teachers. This circular may be accessed at www.education.ie.
