    In light of the current discussion around a table quiz which is happening in Limerick I thought it could be an idea to have a quiz about Limerick. The premise if simple, the Op asks a question, if you know the answer you reply and then you have the right to ask the next questions. 1 rule would be that the questions have to be Limerick related. I would ask that you don't use google, but I'll leave that up to yourself to decide, after all a lot of people find it acceptable to cheat at solitaire :)

    I'll kick things off with a simple 1.

    In what year was the Treaty of Limerick signed?

    Nope. I guarantee you you've passed the spot many times if you go to the city at all.
