Quiz
How much do you know about Irish movies?
Time to take a well-deserved break from all things election and test your knowledge on Irish movies.
PHEW! THE PRESIDENTIAL election is over for another seven years (all going well).
Time to take a well-deserved break from all things election and ponder Irish movies – a low-stakes topic which is safely never politically charged.
Well except for The Wind That Shakes The Barley, In The Name of the Father, Michael Collins, The Magdalene Sisters… actually maybe this quiz won’t really be a break from politics at all.
