Okay, so I keep typing over and over and over "Skellig Michael" which is the name of the bloody island the movies were shot on and your quiz WON'T accept that? Sorry, that's just insulting. Reporting this quiz.

Good one. You could list Dublin as the capital of the "Republic of" Ireland, as "Ireland" is referring to the whole island. No big deal to me, but then, I'm not Irish.

I thought Gulf stream was a sea current, not air current

"This quiz is specifically focused on the Republic of Ireland" So why are there two questions about Northern Ireland?

That's a fair point. I updated the quiz so that it's now 100% focused on RoI.

You give away the answer to the second question in the nineteenth question. Also, the long question should be ended with a question mark. Fun quiz!

Thanks! How so? The mention of a town the nineteenth question surely doesn't indicate anything about where the largest county is?

It doesn't indicate anything, but I think it's better not to include answers in questions at all. People could easily infer that it is a county and could guess it for the county questions. But I think it's fine to keep it as is if you wish. (If you'd like to, I'll delete the comment so it doesn't spoil the question.)

Oh no that's fine -- the feedback is welcome. I changed it -- easy to fix.
