Newshound Quiz 12

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.  

Much attention this week has been directed towards the search for the Titan submersible off the coast of Cananda. At home, there have been surprise store closures, furore over a consultative forum on security, and many more stories. And then… the RTÉ business. We are overburdened with news.
