With the Eng Draft Spec due to be published soon the big question I have is whether the Specification will be new and innovative or will it be hampered by the ridiculous assessment guidlines imposed upon it? How can it be innovative if Creative Writing and Comparative are being assessed in 5th yr?

Award-winning poet Michael Longley dies aged 85. RIP. He was a great poet and a kind and generous man. I was very grateful for his permission to quote his beautiful poem The Linen Industry in full in Dirty Linen. Thinking of his wife Edna and his three children www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...
