Hello!

We're holding a 'Weakest Link'-style quiz in my school in the nearest future and, in my role, I have to research a *lot* of simple enough, general knowledge questions - some which a slight Irish/Dublin leaning.

Feel free to throw your suggestions in

I need another 70+

Apparently "Kildare was the first county in 1928 after defeating Cavan 2-6 to 2-5 to win the Sam Maguire cup."

Aaah lads! You'll need at least one question from Cork as well...

In Cork, what is the four-faced liar?

Go on the lillies! well done btw, although i think i smell a google.........

Is it some cathedral or something i believe, on shandon street?

galactus · 12-01-2005 5:55pm

It is indeed!

Specifically its the clock on St. Anne's Church...or Shandon as Corkonians call it ("or that church with a fish on the top" as non-Corkonians call it)

Perhaps a bonus mark to be awarded for mentioning the clock specifically.

PS Where's this quiz on? Is it open to the public? And are there prizes?
