Only true Dubs will get full marks in our tricky Dublin trivia quiz

It's time to get quizzical as we put your knowledge of our fair city to the test with our Dublin trivia quiz.

We've put together 12 questions about the city and its people and while some of them are tricky, we're expecting true blue Dubs to score highly. If you know that coddle is the greatest dish in the world and the Hill is the only place to be in Croker then we're expecting you to score at least 10.

But we warn you, failure to prove your Dublin credentials with at least seven may result in your excommunication to Kildare. Lower than that and we may have no option but to banish you to Cork for all eternity.
