I think it is Niall McFadden but not certain. The only other one I am not sure of is 24 (biggest debt mountain - Elan, Eircom, Smurfit or DCC)

Thanks for the replies, Eircom had the biggest debt mountain that I could find but I'm open to correction.

hi
Just wondering does anyone know the answer to Question 41 -
Which Irish banking executive's son represented Ireland - in sailing - at the Beijing Olympics?

• Maurice Keane
• Richard Burrows
• Harry Lorton
• Ted Marah

thanks!

Burrows was big into sailing and challenged Pat Hickey for the position of IOC head honcho a few years ago, so presume it was his son. check it out

Anybody doing the daily Independent business quiz. Stuck on the photograph question 3. All help appreciated.

that was back in 2005 so i dunno if he actually made it there. i can find no mention of him in any of the squads or results etc. still it looks like the correct answer though.

sumtumhum

Richard Burrows is definitely correct. Cannot remember right now, but i know that i was able to verify this between more than 1 site

samsausage

Not fully satisfied with question but i think its the answer they are looking for allright and its the one i will be using.
