How Irish do you think you are?

So many people ask questions like 'I have one Irish grandparent does that make me Irish?'



Irishness isn't about blood, its about having a real cultural connection to this lovely island and its people.



So I've put together this little quiz to test Irishness. Its not a comprehensive quiz by any means. Just a few bits and pieces.
