We very much believe in teachers and candidates discussing and agreeing the choice of poem to be performed for Irish Board of Speech & Drama examinations and we will never seek to constrain that choice. However, we do understand that some teachers would like some guidance and/or suggestions for poems that might be suitable for each grade. So we are happy to oblige. This list has been compiled by Deirdre Galassi FTCL and Finola Ryan FIBSD and we are very grateful to them for their work.
