Newshound Quiz 24
The Journal Friday Newshound Quiz
Woof woof baby!
SOME SAY THE news is the first draft of history. Others might think of it as watching pub quiz questions unfold in real-time.
It was a rare week in Irish news. Not often do we get a major drug bust and a Status Orange storm all in one week, but when it rains it pours.
