    One of the questions in that quiz asked Who led the libertas campaign against Lisbon 2? Declan Ganly, Caroline Simons or Raymond O'Malley.

    I thought Ganly did not become involved until the end of the campaign. Any help appreciated

    I didn't think there was any interest in this thread,. so didn't keep it up,.. I got it finished and for that question went with Ganley,.. he did say he wouldn't get involved,.. but later did,.. and I think his was the only name connected with Libertas

    I thought it was Eamonn Gilmore but it's not in the options.

    So did I, maybe its a mistake.
    However I thought I saw some thing the press that said that the money obtained was less than anticipated from some other Dept.
    Tourism might be an obvious location for wines for buttering up travel agents etc

    Have all done except for Q 5. I agree it could be a mistake as Gilmore did say he was going to get rid of the vino.
    Would welcome any evidence on Varadkar, who looks the best bet of the choices!!!!

    Still no definite answer on Q5
    Rabitt /Howlin now looks more likely.
