Our Big Fat Quiz Of The Year: How Much Do You Remember About 2017?
Bag yourself a two-night break as well as some Journal Media goodies
IT WAS THE year that our Taoiseach was set on growing Canadian-Irish relations through the power of socks, TDs returned to the Dáil wearing black Repeal jumpers and that Storm Ophelia rocked our shores, ripping trees from beneath the pavement.
We lost Tom Petty, Hugh Hefner and lead singer of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington and our Irish Water charges were returned to our accounts, while Dublin captured the Sam Maguire and Galway claimed the Liam MacCarthy.
But how much were you paying attention to our news coverage? Were you there when we broke stories about George Hook, debated about the sugar tax and even hosted a Facebook Live with an astronaut from NASA?
Find out how much you took in this year in our quiz below.
We’ve got a two-night break to give away, along with a host of Journal Media goodies, so remember to share your result on Twitter to be in with a chance of winning. Don’t forget to mention us: @JMedia_Studio. Good luck!
