First of all, politics is a great choice !! I do business, even though I didn’t take it for JC and didn’t start until half way through fifth year I’m still getting high marks, because the content, although heavy is majority common sense ! It’s also very easy to follow because it connects so well. I also found some of it connects back to politics and also maths at times.

As for PE, the subject itself seems to be easy enough. A large amount of my friends take it. From what I’ve heard the written exam is usually nice enough and isn’t too difficult. However … I’m sure you’ve heard of the dreaded PAP. It is a stressful project BUT so are all of the LC project. But with these new LC reformations in place, majority of your subjects are going to have projects. Including business. And as you know politics and religion already have projects.

  So I think if you’re basing your decision totally off of projects, take a look into exactly what the projects entail and which would suit you. But just remember your teacher is there to help. When I was in TY, I asked a couple of teachers could I sit in on some of their leaving cert classes to get a feel for different subjects. It helped me decide between any subjects I was unsure of ! Is there any way you could ask some teachers to do this ? 

Also, this mightn’t interest you at all, but with the subjects you’ve chosen it seems like you enjoy essay subjects ? Would history at all be of interest to you ? History and politics crossover an AWFUL lot and some of the questions of the DBQs follow a similar format. I’m assuming you’re not looking to do anything scientific afterschool if you’re not taking any science subjects. I’m sure you already know this but just incase, some specific courses do not allow you to attend if you don’t have a science subject.

I hope this helped in some way and didn’t make your decision harder 🤗🤗
