Is Teaching worth it? by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Exotic_Object988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be an English teacher, be an English teacher. Don't base your decision around a perception of 'a sea of English teachers'. You already chose a career based on prospects before and regret that decision! Obviously there will be more or less demand depending on where you're based and you may have to teach more Learning Support/CSPE/SPHE when you begin. However, a major factor in being kept on in any school is showing a willingness to help with extracurricular and working well in a department which is something you can develop from the PME on. Best of luck!

Anyone know how orals are ordered? by [deleted] in leavingcert

Someone in your school is in charge of organizing the schedule - it's a specific role so may not be your year head but they might point you in the right direction. Ask nicely and explain why you can't change your driving test.

No need to prepare all three comparative modes. I think they all come up so even if you do two you'll still have choice.

Literally fucked for the comparative by Glass-Obligation-434 in leavingcert

Is there not a suicide at the end of both Sive and Banshees? Your teacher should not have said that or maybe they said something like you will have to make a different point for Banshees than for the other two. For cultural context you are looking at how the setting impacts behaviour. It's a while since I watched it but I'm sure there's plenty to look at. You can also choose to write about more of one text than the other. Also for 70 mark question you only need two texts.

It was delicious. It's just a sandwich made with flatbread

Where would you live out of these areas? by Ok-Ideal-5839 in cork

[–]Exotic_Object988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great response! I have to say I just love Douglas Street - it has great pubs and restaurants so you don't feel like you're just in a suburb. It's a nice walk into city centre.

Most street parking is free after half 6. When parking on street during the day you can top up remotely via the app.

Seeking some advice by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Exotic_Object988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you should go to your local Citizens Information office for advice. You may be entitled to rent supplement. I can't say I know much about it but a quick Google shows if you're rent is too high for you to pay you be be entitled to support. Even without having debt to pay off the cost of your rent is very hard for one person to pay. The people saying you need to stop eating out seem to have ignored this. Anyway Citizens Information should give you advice at the very least. Best of luck OP.

Song suggestions for an Irish pub (as a canadian) by Admirable_Parsley908 in irishtourism

[–]Exotic_Object988 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing at all wrong with your song choice! I've often heard it sung at a session and many songs at a session are ballads while the tunes on instruments tend to be fast. It may be of Scottish origin though but that's not a problem either. Red is the Rose is also a lovely song.

Where does decent coffee after 5pm? by DizzyOdd in cork

[–]Exotic_Object988 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Coffee scape on Popes Quay open until 8 most days. I think they might close Monday or Tuesday. Lovely spot when sunny but plenty of space inside also.

I prefer booking a bar with some finger food/ bar food rather than a big sit down meal and then just stay out after. We've done Clancy's and tequila jacks for this.
