Of the 27 countries in the EU, where does Ireland rank in terms of...

A. Population
B. Area

Don't look it up on Wiki, try to work it out first, the population one is easier than the area one I think.

Population I’d say 21. The 3 Baltic states, Luxembourg and Malta all less for a start

GAA question I devised myself:

Taking into account when it was first the Texaco Hurler of the Year, through to its re-brand as GAA-GPA All-Star Hurler of the Year, what is the most common first name of those that have won it? Two of the players on the list played for the same county.

Must be Joe then. Don't know if they won it, but they would have been in the reckoning for sure. Cooney and Canning played for Galway... Can't think of any more..

Brian Cody never won hurler of the year, but was captain in 82.

The Joe's Connolly, Cooney and Canning all won hurler of the year but Joe isn't the answer.

Neither is Henry
