Irish Times Business Christmas Quiz

Albert_Roi

Did anyone have a go at Ciarán Hancock's annual Christmas business quiz in the Irish Times this year? http://www.irishtimes.com/business/sectors/ciar%C3%A1n-hancock-s-christmas-quiz-1.1636905

I'm missing a few:

1. Which five companies were admitted to trading on the Irish Stock Exchange in 2013?
I have four (I think) - Hibernia REIT, Green REIT, Mincon Group and GameAccount Network. Are these correct? If so, anyone know the fifth?

7. Which two long-established Irish department store groups began offering online shopping to their customers this year?
Brown Thomas is one. Anyone know the other?

17. It’s the picture round: name the four people pictured on the right. Here are some clues: one is the chairman of a Dublin-listed stock market company; another was appointed to a top position in Northern Ireland; another is the chair of a newly formed State-owned company; and another served his time and can now get a mortgage.
Pictures can be found on the link (but not in the same order). I'm missing the first two, anyone know?

21. How are Ion Equity, Nama and Irish Life publicly related?

25 What are they no longer putting on the Ritz in Enniskerry?

I can help with others as I think I have all the rest of them. Help would be appreciated!

Q20
Sony HD Studio (for TV3)

No 21 refers to the fact that the Ritz Hotel was sold this year so there is no longer any Ritz in Enniskerry any more.

I also am unable to find who the person in Picture 1, Question 17 is and have no idea how to actually trace him except by pot luck. Anyone good enough to help I would be grateful to.

Question ! I have same 4 as you but lost on fifth.

Question 7 - Marks and Spencer have online site now.

Question 21 - No leads on that one.

I think that M&S went online in 2012.

Re Q25: "What are they no longer putting on the Ritz in Enniskerry?" Since 'Ritz' is given in the question, is he looking for something else?

Dunnes and Brown Thomas did so in 2013

duberry
