Links of Irish Interest Ireland |
This site has developed as a result of the fun quizzes (and the serious ones!) which have been held in the Irish Chat rooms by chatters from all parts of the globe with a common interest in all things Irish. Many of the questions have a strong Irish flavour but there are questions of a general nature from other corners of the world. We hope that you will find these questions both useful and entertaining.
