“Ireland’s finest quizzers are heading to Dublin on Saturday, March 8, for the Irish Quiz Organisation’s (IQO) Irish Open 2014, which features both individual and team quiz events.
“The venue is the Addison Lodge in Glasnevin, Dublin. After registration at 10.30am, the quizzing will start with the Irish Open itself, an individual written quiz split into six categories (Art & Culture, Civilisation, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Physical World, Sports & Games).
“This will be followed in the afternoon by the IQO’s monthly “Hot 100” 100-question individual written quiz, which is used to calculate the Irish quiz rankings from which the Irish national teams for the European and Celtic Nations championships are determined.
“The event will end with a fun table quiz with teams made up on the day.
“Entry is open to all, and costs €12. Pre-booking is not required, but entrants are encouraged to email iqo@quizireland.ie if possible so that enough quiz papers can be made available on the day.”
But a couple of questions first.

“We are hosting a table quiz TONIGHT at 8pm in the Jackson Court Hotel to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland.”
“There will be an overall prize, as well as spot prizes. So far, we have been very generously supported by the Jackson Court Hotel and Copper Face Jacks, the Lighthouse Cinema, Christophe’s Cafe, Butler’s Chocolates, and Boojum Restaurant.”
“€40 per table of 4 with entry to Copper’s afterwards.”

Ahead of this evening’s match [Vs Sweden at Lansdowne Road, Dublin] Three, primary sponsor of the Irish football team, took Richard Dunne, David Forde and Conor Sammon aside for a quick test of their general and football knowledge. The players were quizzed by Matthew Nolan (9) and Matthew Hanley (8) from St. Oliver Plunkett School Malahide, who found out if what they thought of Thierry Henry, and if they knew the words to the national anthem.
Mr Wildish hasn’t done one of these in a while but, hey, old habits die hard.
Which, coincidentally, is also the name of a future Bruce Willy movie.
