Republic of Ireland
Question 1:
Founded in the 6th century as a monastic settlement, this city is the second most populous in the Republic of Ireland.
The city center is an island between two channels of the River Lee. Cork has a population of over 220,000.
Question 2:
What is the world's best-selling brand of Irish whiskey, selling over 8 million cases annually?
In the 1970s and 1980s, Irish whiskey was in decline. Only two distilleries remained and less than 1 million cases of whiskey were being produced. After a resurgence, today there are over 25 distilleries in operation producing more than 14 million cases a year.
Question 3:
What was the legal English name of Ireland between 1922 and 1937?
The Free State ended with the coming into force of a new constitution on 29 December 1937, when the state took the name "Ireland". Until the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, British government and media refused to use the name Ireland, preferring either Eire (without síneadh fada accent) or Republic of Ireland.
Question 4:
What title is used for Ireland's head of government, equivalent to a prime minister?
The word is Irish Gaelic for "chief" or "leader", and was adopted in the 1937 Constitution of Ireland. It is the official title of the head of government in both English and Gaelic. It is only used for the leader of the Irish government, and not for the prime ministers of other countries.
Question 5:
On the morning of the winter solstice, the rising sun shines directly along the long passage in this 5200 year old tomb near the River Boyne, illuminating the inner chamber and revealing the carvings inside.
Tens of thousands enter the lottery to be one of the lucky sixty chosen to witness the event each December. The sunlight enters the passage through a specially contrived opening, known as a roofbox, directly above the main entrance, and the illumination lasts for approximately 17 minutes.
