Very enjoyable, some very clever ones. A good few I didn't understand though - Clare? Offaly? Limerick?

Clare - Ban-her as in Banner County
Limerick - Took me ages to understand this one, it was the last I got. Presumably they were shaking hands and exchanging papers after signing a Treaty

What was pic for Offaly again? Edit was it someone praying? The Faithful county

Clare, Sligo and Galway were my headwreckers.

Although I should have got Sligo earlier.

Offaly was the praying one aye, but then there was a round rock or something as well.

Banner - should have got that one.

Limerick - maybe the most tenuous of the lot!

Yea I was looking at the hands shaking and what I thought were two small planks of wood. With all the Sunday Game questions going on I thought the planks were referring to pundits!

Galway was okay I thought but Limerick was the last one I got and even now I understand the meaning, it is VERY tenuous. Struggled with Offaly also. Good wee quiz though. Ear V  ;D

I can't remember the picture. But I know there's only one 'L'.

Some tough and obscure ones. 

What was Galway again?

The cork looked like a cup or chalice

What about Westmeath? The ear?

Galway was some kind of a shield representing a tribe and a man :-)
