We hope you’ve all survived the long month that was January as Christmas feels but a distant memory. We’ve trawled through bags of Christmas quiz entries and found the cream of the crop, although you didn’t make it easy for us.
Congratulations to our winners: John O’Flynn, Ardagh, Co Limerick; Ian Morley, Castlerea, Co Roscommon and Tomás Joyce, Borris, Co Carlow.
The prizes include two nights B&B in Ballynahinch Castle Hotel, Co Galway, a Cliff Christmas Gift Voucher and a two nights B&B at the Ice House Hotel, Co Mayo.
We shall get started on the next lot of questions once our hands have recovered from correcting all those quizzes, we aren’t sure how teachers do it.
