With a fantastic break away at the five-star Castlemartyr Resort in Co Cork as well as a trip to the Dingle Skellig Hotel and a Bluebook voucher, it was no wonder that we had a huge postal bag full of entries for our 2015 Christmas quiz.

As always, we put all entrants that got 90 questions or more into the draw, so congratulations to our three winners:

  • • First prize: Ann Rochford, Mountmellick, Co Laois.
  • • Second prize: Vincent Cahill, Kilworth, Co Cork.
  • • Third prize: Sile Keady, Kilnaleck, Co Cavan.

    • We hope you had a great time around the fire with the family trying to answer our 100 answers. Apparently number 13 had quite a few of you scratching your heads. Here are the much anticipated answers.
