So on the Covid thread, @LondonJack just suggested ‘Why is Michael O Leary more important than my education?’ as a suggested option for the English essay in this year’s Leaving Cert*. I think he’s on to something here so started a thread.
My initial suggestion would be:
‘Norma Foley - failure, waffler, gee-bag? Discuss!’
Anyone with any suggestions? Marks for humour!
*Disclaimer: the Leaving Cert may or may not happen…or maybe just for three days per week in June, which seems fair!
“Why am I doing this exam”
I reckon you’d get leaving certs far more capable of a decent speech than the shite we’ve heard from our politicians this year so far and last.

Very traditional Hair do.
She looks like a wan out of a sraith pictiur
“let’s do the Norma Foley”
All you need to do is a u turn around the floor.
There is a Norma Foley drinking game doing the rounds as well.
Recently suggested essay titles include:
"Unionists- planted, bought and sold. Are they just vegetables?’ Discuss
‘Government apologies… the cheapest option’… discuss.
One of the essay questions in History in the 1975 Leaving was ‘History is Bunk.’ Discuss. A fella could fill books of foolscap pages with absolute twaddle and provided the grammar was on point, spelling adequate and the handwriting was clear and legible, bob’s your uncle.
I wouldn’t fancy doing the Leaving nowadays. God love them.
‘Cancel culture and online snowflakes… the suggestion that some ‘woken’ people are constantly offended’. Real or imagined?
