General Knowledge Quiz

[MotCO]

Is there a River Derry?

 

[xotGD]

Liffey

 

[SuspectUsual]

Suir

Bann

 

[Calthrop]

River Derry -- no such animal, I'm afraid. Liffey, Bann: not in the running. The Suir is the third longest. We now need the second-ditto !

 

[Spamcan81]

River Boyne?

 

[444045]

How about the River Barrow ?

 

[SuspectUsual]

If not the Bann then maybe the river at Waterford, the Barrow?

 

[Calthrop]

The Barrow is indeed the second-longest. @SteveM70: you got the third-longest, the Suir, and also the Barrow; but, re the latter river, @444045 beat you by two minutes. "Procedurally", thus: one river apiece, named. Might I ask you two gentlemen to decide between yourselves, which of you takes the floor?

 

[SuspectUsual]

Happy to defer

 

[444045]

Thank you @SteveM70

Well done, I am impressed, all correct. Had hoped the quiz may have lasted alittle bit longer.

Interesting answer! I can see what you are getting at, but it's not the right answer.

Just guessing
