Last evening I had the pleasure once again of being Quiz master for the Killiney Lions Club fund-raising quiz in the Rochestown Lodge Hotel. A smaller than usual crowd were treated to lots of questions on the General Election, and on the 1916 Rising. Mixed into this were the usual general knowledge and picture rounds. One of the hardest rounds was the first - average score was about 5/10. Here are the questions, see how you do:
