Study the ordinance survey maps....learn how to read grids....not bullshit...........true. I did the test for a county in Ulster from a Dublin base and got 66% the first time. Learn where all the main attractions are and in what townlands they are. The second time I did it I spent 3 days learning where all the hotels and football grounds etc were. It's multiple choice so if you're from the county, you'll be fine....that does not apply to Dublin test though.

read the questions first eg Question 8 how do you get from the Dail on Kildare Street to somewhere .Question 64 on What Street is Dail Eireann ? A lot of answers are in the questions to allow everybody to pass .Dont guess until you go through all the questions at least once .

A salesman from Supermacs walked up to the Pope and offers him a million euro if he would change “The Lord’s Prayer” from “give us this day our daily bread” to “give us this day our daily burger.” The Pope refused his offer.

Two weeks later, the man offered the pope 10 million euro to change it from “give us this day our daily bread” to “give us this day our daily burger” and again the Pope refused the man’s generous offer. Another week later, the man offered the Pope 20 million euro and finally the Pope accepted.

The following day, the Pope said to all his officials, “I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, that we have just received a check for 20 million euro. The bad news is, we lost the Brennan's Bakery account!
