What questions would you have on a Irish Citizenship test?

l3rian

yea i like Stekellys idea, make em work for their citizenship

maybe a gameshow of some sort?

on rte primetime, a mix between that that familyfortune show (with the big UUH-AAR buzzer), some sadistic japanese gameshow, and that arnie movie: the running man

hosted by dunphy or dustin, either one, or both lol

all the questions would be viciously hard, and the audience would be classic gerry springer style, getting to geer and throw vegetables at any wrong answers

the losing family would be deported back whereever they came from in the back of a cargo container, and the winning family get passports and directions to their local social welfare office

this show would be fccking amazing fun

Yeah, you're right. So put a cork in it......:p

Japanese gameshow style.

Suffer pain, and lots of it for the pittance of a reward.

if you make it really difficult, then only the usefull people, ie those with something to offer will bother to go through it rather than just head off to another country thats easier to get into. So you wed out the ones that are coming to have an easy time of it.

I'm afraid I have to tell you that a lifetime of listening to RTE (not to mention Sky News) newsreaders & presenters mutilating the English language has lead you to believe there is such a term as "Pri Minister"

Ironically most immigrants - people to whom English is a second or third language - would be less likely to make such a mistake.

I think that the "do you grit your teeth when england win anything?" is the most accurate yet.

Slutmonkey57b's questions 1-3 should include an "All of the above" choice.

I meant to put down a "correct answers" part which would have said that, but meh.

I think it's self evident really.

as a sidebar, remember in history when the book said that dev was in limerick (and uncontactable by phone) when collins and his envoy plenpentaries were in london, to sign the anglo-irish treaty... why was dev in limerick, did he have something to do there? or was he just avoiding the phonecall so he could blame collins if the treaty didn't go down well?

Civilian_Target

Yes. He didn't go because he knew Lloyd George's crack team of negotiators would have his ass, so he put Collins up for the slaughter instead. Collins didn't do as bady as expected though, so it took Dev a lot longer than expected to become leader.

raster

indeed, but I always wondered did he have some actual engagement or reason to be specifically in limerick (or would anywhere outside dublin have done)
