What do we know about our history

Landsdowne Market Research have published the preliminary results of a survey they did on how much Irish history the general public know. The results are actually better than I would have expected.

Shame on me, when I read the questions I couldn't remember who the first Irish President was.

Here are the questions they have posted, see which ones you know the answers to before going to the results page

  • Which Irish historical figure was known as the Emancipator?
  • Michael Collins was a leader on which side in the civil war, the pro treaty side or the anti treaty side?
  • Who was the first President of Ireland?
  • Who was Taoiseach during World War 2 ?
  • In what year did Ireland officially become a Republic ?

I allow people to comment anonymously, many blogs dont. If you want to express an opinion and throw insults my way but are afraid to back up your statements with an ID at least back up your opinions and insults with a logical argument.

Unfortunately due to spammers and people posting libel comments I've turned on moderation and just deleted the spam comments.
