Test your knowledge of Ireland with these questions. A warm-up quiz then 10 more quizzes for your fun

STOP PRESS February 2011 - 10 more one-question quizzes added, for loads of extra squidpoints!

Ireland is known as the 'Emerald Isle' and not without reason. However, its prolific greens and rich pastures are interspersed with the purple of heather and the brown of bracken, in season and, naturally, great expanses of sea and fascinating coastal bays. There are castles. There are prehistoric relics. There is history and tradition. There are the great pubs and, of course, there's Guinness. There's something for everyone!

The official languages are Irish (an ancient Celtic language) and English.

The image is of the Cliffs of Moher, which are well worth a visit. Spectacular scenery and massive, bustling and noisy sea bird colonies greet the eye.

Let's take a tour of Ireland and see how much we can remember. Good luck, and have fun. There are polls and a duel. for your amusement, too!

Good - I'd go again!

rauspitz says:

Unfortunately no.

bikerchickie says:

I lived in Dublin for three years but didn't see much of the island. Isn't that terrible? Dublin is nice to visit, but living there was a bit of a disappointment.
I visited Ireland again with my dad after having left the island fours years earlier. This time, we drove to Galway and then up the coast. I told my dad that if I had known that Ireland was so beautiful, I never would have left.

mrniceguy11 says:

It was one of the best trips I've ever been on and I the Irish are the most hospitable people I've ever met.

anansigirls says:

It was cold, rain and the hotel cheated. I'd go back anytime.
