How well do you know Ireland?

[theticklemister]

I choose not to answer the border question out of principle 

The cliffs and biggest population beat me.Went for Cork

[ONeill]

The mountain one was easy. Recognise that sheep anywhere.

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. 

Down is simply not a border county and is not separated from louth by any river

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

If you'd watched the Red Bull Cliff Diving Championships this weekend you'd have gotten it right

You must have studied geography in Violet Hill.

8. Missed the first one, population one and border ome

[Feckitt]

I got the border one wrong, but I actually got it right.  There are 9 border counties, the quiz is flawed.  Down is not a border county.

Louth
Monaghan

Not Sligo, Leitrim.

[Tony Baloney]

Surely it's Laytrim

[Feckitt]

Sligo and Down are not border counties.  Leitrim is.

There must be a border at carlingford surely? Thats not the Irish sea

The croagh patrick one was handy

The Louth/Armagh border is north of Omeath, roughly opposite Narrow Water castle. So Louth and Down are separated by Carlingford Lough but no land border.

[Mayo4Sam]

But surely part of Carlingford Lough is in Down and part of it is in Louth? The two have to meet somewhere?

Interestingly (at least to me) this is the real map of Ireland (the red line), we're bigger than Germany

[armaghniac]

Down and Louth have a border, what more do you want?
