At least one of these questions is a bit suspect, but I got 8.

[FL/MAYO]

10 missed the first one.

Got 8 - missed out on identifying Croagh Patrick and misunderstood the border question - got something else wrong as well.

10/11- missed "biggest population question"

Had Geography bet into me by the De La Salle brothere

9/11. Didn't see there was 5 options for population one.

I have an issue with the border counties question. Does Down have an actual land border with Louth? I don't think it does.

[BennyCake]

Also, isn't part of Belfast in Co Down?

[LCohen]

2 of those answers look sus. Down is not a border county so surely there are only 9 border counties. Also one of the questions relies on Belfast being entirely in Antrim which by a distance it does not. Perhaps  those behind the questions are fresh off the boat themselves?

I got 9/9 then

Definitely the bit about Belfast is suspect, if they had the biggest bar Antrim and Dublin that would have been slightly less misleading.
As for Down not being a border county, this is a matter of opinion. Narrow water would be a short bridge, a bit like Lifford Bridge.

Bridge or not. That's still not a land border.

Did the question mention a land border?

No but if you apply the same logic, Wexford has a border with Wales and Antrim with Scotland.

Not so, the county boundary runs down the middle of rivers, but does not extend out to sea.
Hardly surprising that it Down that is causing the trouble here though.

Got 9, missed the first one and got the cliffs question wrong as well.

[ONeill]

Didn't get any correct.
