Quizmaster

This evening I was quiz-master for Killiney Lions Club who were raising funds for a local school - in total the quiz raised just over €1,000. There were 15 tables, with the winning team scoring a brilliant 92/100 - a group of teachers who clearly found the quiz very easy. The lowest score was 42/100. I thought the quiz might have been a bit hard, but I think it hit the right mix of sport, gossip, history, geography, politics, and news.

Most people found round 2 to be the most difficult - here are the ten questions, see how you get on:

1	By what name is Great Britain Street in Dublin now known as?

3	Which two GAA clubs, one in Kerry and one in Dublin, are named after the same Archbishop?
4	In which song by The Beatles would you find the following lines? In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home, With a couple of kids running in the yard, Of Desmond and Molly Jones
